Lyrics

Sorry it has been so long since you received my last transmission
Meanwhile I've studied them - learned about their strange condition
Now I think I understand why they live in such confusion
Sadly they'll never change - I have come to this conclusion...

Planet earth is great to visit - it's great to visit
(But you wouldn't want to live there.)

I am the mariner who navigates seas celestial
Astronaut ambassador sent to foreign shores terrestrial
Now with hindsight I admit I don't admire the humans' lot
Frail bodies - fragile, ill equipped, their lives are hard (but they are not)

Planet earth is great to visit - it's great to visit
(But you wouldn't want to live there.)

And when you know the ways of men
Then you can only pity them
Every day a raging storm -
Castaway in a carbon based life form

I've wandered far (I've wondered hard) and have one source of comfort only -
When I share my thoughts with you mortality is not so lonely
Countless starts between us - myriad the things I miss
I say farewell and think of home, the static drowns my parting kiss

Planet earth is great to visit - it's great to visit
(But you wouldn't want to live there.)

And as your signal slowly wanes -
The fears return (my growing pains)
Here it is for what it's worth -
Yet another postcard from planet earth

Now with hindsight I admit I don't admire the humans' lot
Frial bodies - ill equipped, their lives are hard (but they are not)

Planet earth is great to visit - it's great to visit
(But you wouldn't want to live there.)

And when you know the ways of men
Then you can only pity them
Every day a raging storm -
Castaway in a carbon based life form

Planet earth is great to visit - it's great to visit
(But you wouldn't want to live there.)
