Just Visiting
When we first began
And man received his present name
We were worshipping the sun and moon
And hoping it would rain
Thinking we were puppets
Of some universal power
We expected his arrival any hour
Suddenly it came
A chariot across the sky
Roaring like an angry tiger
Giving us a great surprise
And what was surely God indeed
Stepped out a burning plane
Proceeding to explain
I'm not your maker
An angel or a saint divine
Not your Creator
Giving you a holy sign
I am a spaceman
And I'm just visting the earth
You are an apeman
And I've been visiting you
Ever since your birth
Man was but a child
And little did he understand
And he couldn't write this story down
So his children heard it second hand
And what was pure and simple
Now a miracle became
The spaceman was its name
I'm not your maker
An angel or a saint divine
Not your Creator
Giving you a holy sign
I am a spaceman
And I'm just visting the earth
You are an apeman
And I've been visiting you
Ever since your birth
And now we've joined the race
Travellers in outer-space
Very soon we too might have to say
I'm not your maker
An angel or a saint divine
Not your Creator
Giving you a holy sign
I am a spaceman
And I'm just visting your earth
You are an apeman
And I've been visiting you
Ever since your birth...
And man received his present name
We were worshipping the sun and moon
And hoping it would rain
Thinking we were puppets
Of some universal power
We expected his arrival any hour
Suddenly it came
A chariot across the sky
Roaring like an angry tiger
Giving us a great surprise
And what was surely God indeed
Stepped out a burning plane
Proceeding to explain
I'm not your maker
An angel or a saint divine
Not your Creator
Giving you a holy sign
I am a spaceman
And I'm just visting the earth
You are an apeman
And I've been visiting you
Ever since your birth
Man was but a child
And little did he understand
And he couldn't write this story down
So his children heard it second hand
And what was pure and simple
Now a miracle became
The spaceman was its name
I'm not your maker
An angel or a saint divine
Not your Creator
Giving you a holy sign
I am a spaceman
And I'm just visting the earth
You are an apeman
And I've been visiting you
Ever since your birth
And now we've joined the race
Travellers in outer-space
Very soon we too might have to say
I'm not your maker
An angel or a saint divine
Not your Creator
Giving you a holy sign
I am a spaceman
And I'm just visting your earth
You are an apeman
And I've been visiting you
Ever since your birth...
