Akira The Don, Terence McKenna - From the Trees to the Starship lyrics

History is just a 25, 000-year dash
From the trees to the starship
History is just a 25, 000-year dash
From the trees to the starship

And while it's going on, it's wild and wooly
But it only lasts like that
And then you you're in the starship
And then you're in the starship
And then you're in the starship
And then you're in the starship
And then you're in the starship
Because we are like bacteria or something
In the shortness of our lifespan
To us, 25, 000 years
You can get lost in the middle of
That and you can't see either end
But from the point of view of a spеcies
It's just instantaneous

History is just a 25, 000-year dash
From thе trees to the starship
History is just a 25, 000-year dash
From the trees to the starship
From the trees to the starship
From the trees to the starship
From the trees to the starship
From the trees to the starship

You know
This thing happened 65 million years ago
A very large object collided with the earth
Everything on this planet
Larger than a chicken, died
Some people think in a single moment
But what's peculiar is
There appears to have been a major dieback
Of species underway before the impact
That in the million years
Preceding the impact
There was some kind of eco
Crisis on the planet
And then, this asteroid struck
You know, the dinosaurs that we
Find are the lumbering, enormous ones
But it's always agreed that there were
A vast number of small-boned
Gray seal dinosaurs that were much smaller
Is it possible there was
A breakout of intelligence?
Is it possible that there was an
Intelligent species of a reptilian sort
That was actually evolving a
Technical civilization which
Then to cause this dieback of species?

History is just a 25, 000-year dash
From the trees to the starship
History is just a 25, 000-year dash
From the trees to the starship
From the trees to the starship
From the trees to the starship
From the trees to the starship
From the trees to the starship

Whenever you have intelligent life in
The presence of large explosions
A safe bet is that the intelligent life
Is responsible for the large explosions
It may be that there was the war in heaven
60 million years ago
