How To Stay Alive Lyrics by Gong

2032

0

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 can't 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 can't 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
