They Can't Take You Away Lyrics

Beyond heaven

Gotta be something out there

The darkness let the light in

Devoid of life forms anywhere

One Two Oh Nine Two Two

Distress signal to outer space

Can't fly as fast as light do

No ET can make it close to that pace

And if they could, why would they want to?

Check out this rock of banality

Advanced superior life forms

Can't breathe in triviality

They can't take you away from this

We might as well be on our own

Some might be incredulous

That we're alone on this cesspool home

They can't take you with them

You're stuck with this boring shit

They can't take you with them

Eternity on Earth's all you get

Stuck in the same dimension:

Meatspace of carboniferous scrap

Wormholes or endless hypersleep

To see a load of homo sapiens crap

Everything we'd have to do

They'd have to do the same thing too

Might as well admit we're alone

No one there to visit us at home

You're head's probably so full of science fiction

You think they can just teleport right in there with some kind of alien technology

So advanced it might as well be magic

But they'd have to achieve a significant fraction of light speed too

And then navigate interstellar space for years

Avoiding the perils of space dust, cosmic rays

And the long-term effects of weightlessness – just like we would

So forget about your rectal probes

Androids and brain scan electrodes

You can see'em on TV

'Cause spacemen ain't gonna set you free

And if they could, why would they want to?

Check out this rock of banality

Advanced superior life forms

Can't breathe in triviality
