From the Trees to the Starship

[Intro]
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

[Chorus]
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?

[Chorus]
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
