Lydia, who do you think you are?
(I wasn't always an extraterrestrial)
Lydia, how did you get so far?
You shouls shoot for the moon and soon be among the stars
Lydia, who do you think you are?

I am part of a society called the Shadowbuilders
And for the last thirty years I've been observing Earth
But my mothership has been delayed once more
She won't return until '34

Come from a solar system called the Tree of Infinity
We work together to build a utopian society
And the Starship Tempest is my home in space
It has been too long, oh, how I miss that place
And I fear before we interfere this world will fall victim to tragedy

Don't have much faith in Earth anymore
She won't return until '34

This planet's too hot, this planet's too cold, I gotta get to the Goldilocks Zone
Warpin' through the highway to the Gildilocks Zone
It'll take you right home

We wish we could help everybody
But we have limited resources
I'll admit, in my darkest moments
I'm not sure if you're worth saving

Do you believe we're not alone?
And do you believe the universe is our home?
Will you sit on the porch with me?
We'll watch the otherworldly visitors

We'll watch the otherworldly visitors play
If we can join them, so can they

Watching the moon reviel your light
Watching a trillion stars ignite
Watching the leaves blow in the breeze

Will you sit under the stars with me?

Otherworldly Visitors (Vid in Description) (2024-01-02)

We lit the match
We set the scene
We struck the spark
Poured gasoline
We burned it down

No evidence, no one would know
How Hammertown, Ontario
Became the hammer on fire

And as the flames grew ever hotter
Who'd have thought a fireman's daughter'd be the one to burn it down?
For generations they would sing
The tragic tale of the Arson Queen who burned it down

Don't know what to do?
Set it on fire
Don't know how to be?
Set it on fire
Don't know what to see?
Let's see some fire

Don't know what it is?
Set it on fire
Don't know how to live?
Set it on fire
Don't know what to give?
Give it some fire

Let it all burn down
The hammer on fire
With a lovely sound
You could hear on every street

Let it all burn down
Hammer on fire
Can you feel it now?
Can you feel the heat?

Sportsball arena's up in flames
My hopes and dreams all up in flames
They're up in flames

But from the ashes of the flames
I'll sail away on hoverskates
I'll sail away

We all will follow simple plans
Disturbed by butterflies and men
Who are the ones to burn it down

To turn the tables would be nice
For every action, there's a price
Sometimes it's fun to burn it down


Arson Queen (2024-01-05)

I had a dream the other night
Something wasn't feeling quite right
Something wasn't falling into place
Floating on the outer edge of space

And I've been running all my life
I was running from myself
Do a mad dash
Maybe she won't catch up

Gonna do a speedrun
Got a peak to climb
Get out of your own way
Or you'll have a bad time

Cause I've been running all my life
I was running from myself
Climb a mountain
And she'll catch up
You'll catch up

I must have died two thousand times
Only spurred on by the spikes and frozen devices
Shed so many feathers I was molting
Had to stop to mend my broken wings

And now I ain't running from myself
No I ain't running no more
Do a hyperdash
Together we'll go far

Celeste (2024-01-06)

There's a place called downtown
Where the cool kids all go
Where they dance their cool dances
And they wear their cool clothes

I like to think that I am one of them
But really, who knows?
I sing my cool songs, wear my cool makeup
And I wear my cool clothes

Yeah, you might say that I've got it down to a science
And one of these days, I'm gonna break down

Break down

When I was a child, I used to ice skate
Now I skate on the pavement
There's way too many cracks and potholes
Makes me wonder what the wave meant

But I've got it down to a science
And one of these days, I'm gonna break down

Break down

And when that day comes
I'll do some experimenting

( . . . )

Cause I've got it down

Down to a Science (2024-01-16 REMIX) ft. Brad Reid & Nate of Earth

I stand on the edge of the dock
I'm about to cast off
It's a windy day
And on the horizon there may be a touch of grey but when have I ever let a chance of rain stand in my way?

Cause the fire in my eyes only truly burns
When it's my turn to light up the stage
And there's no reward but I keep coming back
So why is it these days I only feel enraged

By the silent screaming all inside my brain?

I stand on the edge of the dock
I'm about to cast off
It's a rainy day
And there may be some thunder on the way but when have I ever let a storm stand in my way?

Silent Screaming (2024-02-08)

I skate through the streets
Of the city at night
As I slip and slide
In the snow and the ice
Uncertainty
Will be with me all my life
That's okay
No one needs to be right

I've fallen out of reality
Emotions have a gravity

And I've been livin' in liminal space lately

Humankind nearly passes the test
If it weren't for the worst of the worst who bring down your averages
If only they weren't the ones who ruled this solar system
Some may say that your kind lacks wisdom

The seeds you've sown are overgrown
The consequences will be known

And we've been living in interesting times
Yeah you can say that again

Wake in mid-transfromation
Dance in the revelation
Fly like an owl around town
I will make myself known

Crying tears of the planet
I can't understand it
Shouting rage of the planet
I've just about had it

Sleep? Never heard of that thing
I'm a cat-bat on the wing
I'm Ramona Flowers
It's my finest hour

I'm in my element
You won't even know where I went
This isn't even my final form
My wings are barely worn

You should have told us it was your birthday
We would have bought a cake from the store
All things considered it wasn't the worst day
But it cracked my top four

Build me a castle so I can be safe
Build me a starship so I can escape
If it's a no-go then give me Nintendo
So at least I can play

Another day under the dome
It's feelin' a lot like home
The air is getting thin
I can feel it in my skin

The winter and the birds are gone
Those who remain rarely sing a song
Another day under the dome
It's feelin' a lot like

Deep in a castle
Bowser's an asshole

Koopa, don't play, you'll feel no pain, take your brain away

Who put that pit there?
Right beside the stairs

If I may be bold
This is getting old
Quite formulaic
If I may say it
Maybe next time
Princess Peah
Can save herself

We are the weary
Bathed in starlight
We are witches, we are wicked
Ain't no rest for us tonight

Because all our dreams are fleeting
And this is only an echo
And my soul is bleeding
Woah

I like to go starbathing
Because it helps me to recharge
And the Goddess wears a dress of infinite stars

And I lie naked before her
As the meteors shine on
Cometary fragments burning out their final song

And they scratch their silent vinyl
Burning out like rock and roll
To keep the demons all at bay
Tell me what colour is today?

And as they fade into the morning
And the sun sets in reverse
What's the epitaph of our lives
Bathed in starlight

Bathed in starlight
Just like rock and roll
Burning bright, meteoric, and out of control
Just like rock and roll

Because no one is sleeping
No, no one is sleeping
Even when our souls are deeply dreaming
No one is sleeping

When you're in the zone
And everything takes on a life of its own
You think there's no way
That the world is like this every single day

Thirty stories tall
But you still can't see where you dropped the ball
Who needs jungle gyms
When you can go up here on a whim

By the wayside
By the wayside I am falling
By the wayside, I'm,
Though I try to climb,
By the wayside I am falling tonight

Thought the cows may moo
They still can't see what we can do
And when time stands still
Please could you keep bending it to your will?

And every day it's the same thing
Limbo never seemed so welcoming
So take my hand and dance with me
We'll play till night gives way to day

By the Wayside (2024-04-04)

[The ants go marching 1x1 hurrah x2]x2
The ants go marching 1x1 the little one stops to have some fun
And they all go marching down to the ground to get out of the rain

v2 same except the ants go marching 2x2
The little one stops to tie her shoe

v3 3x3
The little one stops to climb a tree

4x4
They won't stop till they win the war


Ants (2024-04-09)

The rain, relentless as the rhythm of the city that drives me
My light, refracted by the prism of the city of tragedy
The moon is blocking out the sun making the people all stop and stare
Maybe it'll manage to make some of them a little more self-aware

It ain't a sprint, girl, it's a marathon
You can do it, girl, yeah, you're going strong
It ain't a sprint, girl, it's a marathon
It's a marathon

It ain't a sprint, girl, it's a marathon
You can win, girl, yeah you know you're strong
It ain't a sprint, girl, it's a marathon
It's a marathon

My heart, enraptured by the rhythm of the city that slays me
Gotta get some O2 in my lungs so I can rembember how to breathe
Only wanna try to find a way to live without so much constant stress
So I will ignite all of my engines in my persuit of happiness

I wasn't always an extraterrestrial

I was born on a world ten thousand light-years away
In another spiral arm, but baby, who's to say
Where one arm ends and another one begins?
I wasn't always an alien

Came to your planet to see how y'all were getting by
Seems like you are always low and never high
And I'm afraid to say your planet has failed the test
So we'll come back in a decade and hope for the best
Maybe then you won't shoot our balloons down from the sky
Why are humans so violent?

And we're watching you from the depths of the night
You're like children playing with fire
And for your sake I hope you guys survive
Cause the next decade ain't gonna be an easy ride

So here's some advise for the storm:
It ain't a sprint, it's a marathon
You'll make it through, though the road is long
Cause it gets darkest before the dawn

#commiepropaganda

So much to do on the LGBTQ agenda
Traditional marriage has got to end
Cause the downfall of all Western Civilization
What's taking us so long? I'm losing my patience

Cause I'm a secret agent-
Don't tell anybody
I'm a spy for the Commie army
We'll overthrow the patriarchy
Then we're gonna have a party

Cause I'm a heathen athiest and I worship Satan
Even though I don't believe in him
Tell me, where in your book does it say "Thou shalt not transition"?
Well guess what, even if it did I wouldn't listen

(Chours)

And it'll be joyous
Won't you join us?
Yeah it'll be alright
Workers of the world unite

Secret Agent (2024-04-30)

Hi, everyone, I'm Lydia Elsewhere, the transextraterrestrial, welcome back to my channel.

Previously . . .

I continue my mission observing the apocalyptic planet known only as 'Earth'.
It is thebyear 2025. Planet Earth is a corporate dystopia of environmental collapse, but they invented hoverskates so that's pretty fun. The internet is dead, awash is a sludgy sea of ads, bots, AI-generated content and misinformation. Nothing can be trusted anymore, if it ever could've been to begin with

Nobody knows who to turn to
When the whole world has got the blues
Nobody knows who we can learn from
When you can't listen to the news

And we're staring at the searing sun
As the barons bid my blood to run
Cause the cops don't care 'bout corporate crime
But that is by design

And I'm so sick of this planet
But still, there's something there that makes me wanna save it

I had a dream the other night
I saw the Starship Tempest in flight
She was such a beautiful sight
For this weary heart of mine

And I know there's a better way
There has to be
Human potential goes to waste
It's blasphemy

Lydia to Jenny
Come in, Jenny
Commander Lydia Elsewhere to Captain Jenny Why

Lydia to Tempest
Come in, Tempest
These humans have something special inside

They got lots of problems
They know they got problems
But still, there's something in them that's worth saving

I know there's somthing in them that's worth saving
I know there's something in them
I know there's something in them

Something worth saving
Something worth saving
They are, at the very least, quite entertaining
This mission is proving to be interesting

I'll leave a note before I leave
Hope I won't be too long
If I'm back before you wake
It's like I was never gone

If we search the stars above
Maybe we can find a place
A planet rich with love
Where everybody can play

Take me up
Take me up
And help me to find

World of love
World of love
Where aliens don't need to hide

Light me up
Light me up
Light my spirit spark

Help me light
Help me light
Help me light the dark

Let me be a lighthouse, let me be a beacon
Help me help the seekers find what we are seeking
Maybe if we search the sky, we can find a home
Somewhere where we're free to fly away into the unknown

Take Me Up (Vid in Description) (2024-05-14)

Yesterday was gonna be the day but hindsight is so four years ago
Skating down the highway is the only thing I know
And you take the first deep breath you've taken in who knows how long
Voices in your head are screaming and you're singing along

Life moves so fast now, it's so easy to forget
Life moves so fast now, it's so easy to forget

To take a minute
To take a minute
To breathe

There's always tomorrow, but the future is so last week
Hard to find utopia when you can hardly speak
Searching ever onward for the answers that we seek
Thought I caught a fleeting glimpse, now it's time to take a peek

And take a minute
To breathe

Now that I can take a minute
Now that I know I'm in it

We'll take a minute
To breathe

To Breathe (Vid in Description) (2024-05-18)

Could the ancients ever have forseen that we would become the Gods
Still lost in a world ensnared by warlords?
But I am balance
And we've got talents
We'll show them all
That love can be prevailant

Cause I am Baphomet
And it's not over yet
We'll set the stage
We'll turn the page
We'll hold a pagent

It's easy to get lost in a world that's full of light
Headlights that blind so I wear my shades at night
But we've got tenacity
And reciprocity
The ties that bind
Are stronger than the lies of the aristocracy

Give me something new
I'm sick of all the same old shit that I'm used to
Oh, give me something more
Something I've never seen or heard before

Baphomet (2024-05-30)
