Time Is Money - Frank Zappa

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!)

And the whole 'EQUIVALENT EARTH' SHALL BE MINE!

And the whole 'EQUIVALENT EARTH' SHALL BE MINE!

And the whole 'EQUIVALENT EARTH' SHALL BE MINE!

MINE!

MINE!
