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, I'll 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 - I'll 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.)
