Skyclad

Skyclad - Postcard From Planet Earth lyrics

rate me

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.)
