You’re doing this world like you did Mars

lyrics

A shadow drifts across the night
Edges tipped in pail blue light
Word gets round and soon crowds grow
Everyone’s hot for UFO’s
Visitors from Outer Space!
Hurry up! Clean up the place!
Hold the whitewash, look around
Scouts have long been on the ground

We come in peace. We come in peace
For now, at least, we come in peace

That homeless guy’s not what you think
Flashes you a knowing wink
The schoolgirl with the almond eyes
Smiles and glances at the sky
Signs and circles flatten crops
A prelude to a supply drop
Treat your houseplants very well
You don’t know the tales they tell

We come in peace...

Science and scripture vied since birth
To retrofit mankind on earth
Centuries of solemn tracts
To justify barbaric acts
We who guide the circular craft
Heard the stories had to laugh
Hips in the sewer, heads in the stars
You’re doing this world like you did Mars

We come in peace...
