Dougal & Gammer - Tripod lyrics

Across the gulf of space
Minds immeasurably superior to ours
Regarded this Earth with envious eyes
And slowly and surely, they drew their plans against us

No one would have believed
In the last years of the nineteenth century
That human affairs were being watched
From the timeless worlds of space

No one could have dreamed we were being scrutinized
As someone with a microscope studies creatures that
Swarm and multiply in a drop of water
Few men even considered the possibility of life
On other planets and yet, across the gulf of space
Minds immeasurably superior to ours
Regarded this Earth with envious eyes
They drew their plans against us

And slowly and surely, they drew their plans against us [2x]

Across the gulf of space
Minds immeasurably superior to ours
Regarded this Earth with envious eyes
And slowly and surely, they drew their plans against us

Across the gulf of space
Minds superior to ours with envious eyes
And slowly and surely, they drew their plans against us
