lyrics

In a distant solar system
don't tell me there can't be a planet of dogs
just don't plan to visit it soon
because it's too far.

What are its inhabitants like?
Somewhat resembling Anubis,
or a little like a human wearing a fursuit
and it's so lovely peaceful and calm
but don't plan on visiting soon
because it's too far for us to get to anyway.

Traveling at the speed of light
it would still take centuries to get there
even taking into account the different experience
of time at that speed.

The ships would arrive
nothing living inside
the dogs would look in wonder
and ask why we even tried
when it was too far for us to get to anyway.

We don't know yet if space is infinite
and there's bound to be a few trillion planets in it
and since there was a planet of apes
why can't there be a planet of dogs?

Too far away for us to visit anyway
Too far away for us to get to anyway.
