How to Stay Alive

Let the song man spin it It began at the beginning Was a sweet green planet Nothing on it, nothing to it, nothing in it, Nothing to do with the planet as we know it It's a planet coming to you but you don't know if its there Maybe its here, maybe there Check it underneath the Milky Way Right beside the southern cross I don't think so! You just cant see it but it ain't going away You've gotta dance and sing and everything will Clarify, fructify, multiply, fact finding it? Will never satisfy Not the big bang, not the big bong But the planet called GONG Its a singin' and a ringin out This is where we're coming from This is where that we belong This is where it all began Hu-man They coming out of an intention Which I hesitate to mention Maybe out of space is just a parallel dimension They coming down from a planet So far, so near That's where it all began That music you hear It happened to remind me of a long long story Bout a visit from the stars, some old Babas? Professor Paradox sent the Octave Docs Those Time Doctors on space guitars Those wise avatars from a distant star They have watched us Take me to your leaders! We assume the position of possession of power We chop out the life We live by the knife Cut out the memory That everybody's family One great family of conscious humanity (X4) And the time will come When the Star Men arrive In 2032 they'll be looking at you They're coming down to Earth And it's been so long So very very long ago When play last end To come down here To show us what we need to know How to survive without killing the planet How to survive without killing the planet? (We need to know!) How to stay alive? (We need to know!) Let the song man spin it It began at the beginning Was a sweet green planet Nothing on it, nothing to it Nothing in it, Nothing to do with the planet as we know it It's a planet coming to you but you don't know if its there Maybe its here, maybe there Check it underneath the Milky Way Right beside the southern cross I don't think so! You just cant see it but it ain't going away It's a singing and a ringing out This is where we're coming from This is where that we belong This is where it all began Human.
