MARTIN
Dreaming here in my room,
Feeling time passing by,
Look out of this world,
Fly out to the sky.
(Images and effects of thunder, lightning, and night sky clouds)
I don't remember where I came from, nor where I
was bound,
All I know is I'm enjoying what I've found.
I think it's heaven, so I'm gonna let you know,
How to get here from Devon or New Mexico.
(Images of desert and waves breaking on rocks.)
Take a journey out of yourself, Let your feelings
be free,
Take a journey out of yourself, come along with
me.
(Images of planes taking off, and a yogin meditating)
Take the bus out to the airport, where the big birds
go.
Hop a mat to Nirvana , any hour they go.
Follow signs to heaven. It's the only way to go.
To get here from Devon or New Mexico.
Or whereever you go
(Images of slowly spinning sunflowers, spacecraft., and wheels)
Round and round and round I go,
I'm just a child running,
Trying to find a way in time,
To see beyond, beyond, beyond, my Spinning, spin-ning
mind.
(The images accelerate, to generate nausea. Flash of light)
MARTIN:
I've found something I didn't know existed over
there,
And though it seems like someone ought to care...
I didn't know what to expect or what was coming
next,
So I just travelled on, into spaces way beyond
what I've seen..
And now I think I know
Where those spacy people go
And why when they come to land.
People just don't understand, what they say..
What they say, what they say is.....
(GIRL from the audience returns with group of tempters, and temptresses who taunt Martin)
TEMPTERS:
Don't go back to planet Earth
It's no longer worth
Spending time in places where you've been seen.
Second time trippers choose,
Scenarios they think can't lose
But then they don't know what they've lost.
MARTIN:
So when I'm touching down,
Remember what the rest have found
I've got to pay the landing tax
For my taking acts
Or ....
TEMPTERS & MARTIN:
Don't go back to Planet Earth
Choose a distant other birth
For I am not prepared to pay to play
Games of suffering the rules
Earth needs no more folls
Who stay and say...
Don't Go Back To Planet Earth!
GIRL:
Don't go back to Planet Earth. The planet's burned out.
MALE TEMPTER:
Just go back to take what you want. Everyone's stripping the place. Make sure you get your share.
SECOND TEMPTER:
Stay up here and travel with us. We don't need food or shelter; so you won't need to worry or work. Come and be a space tourist.
SECOND TEMPTRESS:
Here, look into the crystal ball. Anything you want is yours. Fortune, fame. beautiful women. Just yours for the asking.
