Haunted Planet

One scenario for solving our problem
Is a mass migration into the past
We could literally dump this whole scene
And go 100 million years into the past of the planet
And set up there, and set up there
In a confined zone
If it were only 10,000-years deep, it would never show in any fossil record
If we held ourselves to a 10,000-year wide window, that's such a brief period of time
And so long ago, that we would basically just appear to have disappeared

[Chorus]
I think this is a haunted planеt
And we are a haunted spеcies
I think this is a haunted planet
And we are a haunted species
Every solid body in the solar system is heavily cratered
I think this is a haunted planet
And we are a haunted species

Some of these craters are planet smashers
There is considerable and ever-increasing evidence
That the cosmic neighborhood is fairly unstable – fairly unstable
Is it possible that biology is somehow prescient
That biology somehow exists in eternity and knows the fate of the planet?
And that what we are is a desperate strategy of escape
And that the planet actually can sense the possibility of a complete life-destroying asteroidal impact?

[Chorus]
I think this is a haunted planet
And we are a haunted species
I think this is a haunted planet
And we are a haunted species
Every solid body in the solar system is heavily cratered
I think this is a haunted planet
And we are a haunted species

A species, a bipedal monkey with binocular vision
Has been led into the antechamber of nature's secrets
In order you to build machineries and unleash energies sufficient to
Either deflect that incoming object, or flee the planet in anticipation of it
