What Are The Odds?

from A Disposable Life by Peter Galperin

/

lyrics

(verse 1)
How do you grow fresh vegetables on a planet made of ice?
Does everything suffer from freezerburn?
Are the traffic lights synchronized, or do drivers sit and curse
as they listen to a cosmic Howard Stern?

When you’re 100 thousand light-years from the sun,
does that mean you always have to wear a hat and gloves?
A night sky with multiple moons must be romantic indeed.
Even alien creatures need love.

(chorus)
Is our tiny blue planet, the only one of it’s kind.
I wonder is earth life’s only home?
But with billions of planets circling millions of suns,
What are the odds that we’re all alone?

(verse 2)
Do they dream of a better future for their kids?
Are they saving on a tax-free college plan?
Would they be our friends, or a nuisance or a plague,
Will they be in a lifeform we’d understand?

(verse 3)
If intelligent life exists somewhere in outer space,
why would they want to chat with us?
You’d think they’d have better things to do with their time,
but maybe, just maybe, they’re curious.
