Calling Occupants of Interplanetary Craft
In your mind you have capacities you know
To telepath messages through the vast unknown
Please close your eyes and concentrate
With every thought you think
Upon the recitation we're about to sing
Calling occupants of interplanetary craft
Calling occupants of interplanetary, most extraordinary craft
You've been observing our earth
And we'd like to make a contact with you
We are your friends
Calling occupants of interplanetary craft
Calling occupants of interplanetary ultra-emissaries-
(Alien voice)
We've been observing your earth
And one night well make a contact with you
We are your friends
(Human voice)
And please come in peace, we beseech you
(Alien voice)
Only a landing will teach them
(Human voice)
Our earth may never survive
(Alien voice)
So do come, we beg you
(Human voice)
Please interstellar policeman
(Alien voice)
Oh, won't you give us a sign
(Both)
Give us a sign that we've reached you
[Instrumental]
With your mind you have ability to form
And transmit thought energy far beyond the norm
You close your eyes, you concentrate
Together that's the way
To send the message
We declare World Contact Day
[Guitar solo]
Calling occupants of interplanetary craft
Calling occupants of interplanetary craft
Calling occupants of interplanetary, most extraordinary craft
... we are your friends.
-The Carpenters
This is like one of the most amazing songs I've heard from The Carpenters. So awesome. And meaningful. Yeah.
