You’d expect human descedents to have found alien civilization by now, but we haven’t. However Aliens have found us, and they regularly walk among us for novel amusement.
lyrics
Just landed.
Alien on a humanoid planet
visiting mars for the first time
looking around
moving like a local
lose my face in the crowd
visiting mars for the first time
looking around, hanging out
wearing animal eye-fakes
in disguise mingling with ignorant primates
my contraband
undetected in the data scan
smuggling identity chips and
DNA holograms
shaking hands
with a half man
half tangled in machinery
do the deal quick
then blend into the scenery
ripping a certified credit stick
ready to cash in and cut loose
first stop, fine dining at the prismatic pools
chewing on extinct animals
cloned and bred for food
enjoying the city-scape
virtual fantasy land
megalithic architecture
built by synthetic drone programs
touring the pyramids
listening to smooth jazz slow jams
perception implants
enhancing my pleasure glands
intercepting thought waves
with a telepathic glance
laughing at the race of technologically advanced
earth man chasing digital action and romance
great place to visit, but
I wouldn’t want to live here
there's no one to talk to
and there's too much violence in the air
that’s precisely why my planet stays cloaked
and undetected
these humans gotta suffer hard years and
long lessons
imagine if they suddenly knew of my
alien presence?
They’d probably put me in a zoo
instead of asking me questions
so i gotta leave
got another promise that I gotta keep
gotta get a couple souvenirs for my family
gotta visit two other moons especially
cuz phobos grows the best tea in the galaxy
and i hear they sirens of titan calling me...
