Crop circles are such fun
It is a wonderful example of my contention that the world is made of language
Because whatever the crop circles are, what they are is
Glyphs of some sort I mean, they are designed to be seen
It would be absurd to maintain that someone was trying not to be seen
So, these crop circles are to be looked at
And then radiating out from the act of looking at them
Reality ripples
Reality ripples
Reality ripples like air above a desert highway
No one seems to think it's weird that all of these birth mysteries people in England
This tremendous mystery just happens to be within a three-hour drive of their front door
I mean, why isn't it happening in the Steppes of central Asia?
Obviously, it seems to me, it is to be seen by the very people who would then offer an explanation of it
Well, now, Jacques Vallée is the person who pioneered in the study of flying sauces

It's very easy to smooth it all out and say, you know
That the Pentagon runs it all and so forth and so on
But once you start digging
I mean, the world is a labyrinth
A sponge of interconnected labyrinthine interstices
The weirdest connections
You know, who knew who, and what they were doing about it
And then, you know, these – these reports that come in, you know
And some are false, and some are true
But the sum total of it all is to paint a picture of excruciating weirdness
Excruciating weirdness
Excruciating weirdness
People are just pushing the right buttons
I guarantee you, you take five dried grams of psilocybin in silent darkness

I think life is tremendously tenacious
And has an immense capacity to organize itself to meet
Any crisis provided it knows it's coming
There are scars on this planet
Enormous scars
There's a scar a billion and a half years old on the Canadian Shield that is twice the size of the lunar crater Copernicus
[Chorus]
Now, what is going on?
What is going on?
What is going on?
What IS going on?
Now, what is going on?
What is going on?
What is going on?
What IS going on?
This thing that came down 50,000 years ago out near Flagstaff, Arizona
That was a tiny object
It was something like 30 meters across
It was moving nine times the speed of a rifle bullet
One scenario for solving our problem
Is a mass migration into the past
We could literally dump this whole scene
And go 100 million years into the past of the planet
And set up there, and set up there
In a confined zone
If it were only 10,000-years deep, it would never show in any fossil record
If we held ourselves to a 10,000-year wide window, that's such a brief period of time
And so long ago, that we would basically just appear to have disappeared
[Chorus]
I think this is a haunted planet
And we are a haunted species
I think this is a haunted planet
And we are a haunted species
Every solid body in the solar system is heavily cratered
I think this is a haunted planet
And we are a haunted species
Is a mass migration into the past
We could literally dump this whole scene
And go 100 million years into the past of the planet

And we are a haunted species

History is just a 25,000-year dash
From the trees to the starship
History is just a 25,000-year dash
From the trees to the starship
And while it's going on, it's wild and wooly
But it only lasts like that
And then you you're in the starship
And then you're in the starship
And then you're in the starship
And then you're in the starship
And then you're in the starship
Because we are like bacteria or something, in the shortness of our lifespan
To us, 25,000 years, you can get lost in the middle of that and you can't see either end
But from the point of view of a species, it's just instantaneous
