This place is outer space
where aliens arrive
and they love slumming it
in this exotic dive.
Where they come from is pure,
unspoilt, and as it’s always been.
They beam images back home
and pose in concrete and green.
They’re too clever for anyone here
and do their touristy invisible thing
cos where they come from is pure,
unspoilt, and as it’s always been.
They wonder how this species
never got to them and where they are.
But when they get a closer look
they see how far they have to go, how very far.
Secret reconnaissance
with star spies standing out visible
walking among them as human but undercover
sending back intelligence on this rival.
This place is outer space
where aliens arrive
and they love slumming it
in this exotic dive.
They’re too clever for anyone here
and do their touristy invisible thing
cos where they come from is pure,
unspoilt, and as it’s always been.
