Time is money... But Space is a long, long time!
Perhaps you are surprised To see I speak your language?
But I have been monitoring Your Earthly broadcasts for Many years... Many years... And the reception on my little planet Is extremely fine!
Time is money... But Space is a long, long time! On my lonely throne In the cosmic night I ponder the vast expanses Between your puny world and mine!
From my Couch-In-The-Sky, As my planet goes by, I behold all your misery below there! I have seen all your lying, And crying, and dying, And, believe me, YOUR planet is NOWHERE!
SPACE is a VERY LONG TIME!
(And if the equation, As set forth above, Is PROVED when we get to The BOTTOM LINE... The 'Powers Financial' I'll hold o'er your world Will complete my fantastic design!)
