FRANK ZAPPA-"Time Is Money" LYRICS

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 . . .

For many years . . .

And the reception on my little planet

Is extremely fine!

Time is money . . .

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!

MINE!

MINE!

MINE!

MINE!

MINE!

MINE!

MINE!
