 Did you think that your feet had been bound  By what gravity brings to the ground?  Did you feel you were tricked  By the future you picked?  Well, come on down  All those rules don’t apply  When you’re high in the sky  So, come on down  Come on down  We’re coming down to the ground  There’s no better place to go  We’ve got snow up on the mountains  We’ve got rivers down below  We’re coming down to the ground  We hear the birds sing in the trees <span style="color: #800000; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 20pt;"> And the land will be looked after <span style="color: #800000; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 20pt;"> We send the seeds out in the breeze <span style="color: #800000; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 20pt;"> Did you think you’d escaped from routine <span style="color: #800000; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 20pt;"> By changing the script and the scene? <span style="color: #800000; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 20pt;"> Despite all you made of it <span style="color: #800000; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 20pt;"> You’re always afraid <span style="color: #800000; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 20pt;"> Of the change <span style="color: #800000; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 20pt;"> You’ve got a lot on your chest <span style="color: #800000; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 20pt;"> Well, you can come as my guest <span style="color: #800000; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 20pt;"> So come on down <span style="color: #800000; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 20pt;"> Come on down <span style="color: #800000; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 20pt;"> We’re coming down to the ground <span style="color: #800000; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 20pt;"> There’s no better place to go <span style="color: #800000; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 20pt;"> We’ve got snow up on the mountains <span style="color: #800000; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 20pt;"> We’ve got rivers down below <span style="color: #800000; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 20pt;"> We’re coming down to the ground <span style="color: #800000; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 20pt;"> We hear the birds sing in the trees <span style="color: #800000; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 20pt;"> And the land will be looked after <span style="color: #800000; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 20pt;"> We send the seeds out in the breeze <span style="color: #800000; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 20pt;"> Like the fish in the ocean <span style="color: #800000; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 20pt;"> We felt at home in the sea <span style="color: #800000; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 20pt;"> We learned to live off the good land <span style="color: #800000; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 20pt;"> Learned to climb up a tree <span style="color: #800000; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 20pt;"> Then we got up on two legs <span style="color: #800000; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 20pt;"> But we wanted to fly <span style="color: #800000; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 20pt;"> When we messed up our homeland <span style="color: #800000; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 20pt;"> We set sail for the sky <span style="color: #800000; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 20pt;"> We’re coming down to the ground <span style="color: #800000; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 20pt;"> There’s no better place to go <span style="color: #800000; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 20pt;"> We’ve got snow up on the mountains <span style="color: #800000;

font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 20pt;"> Coming down to Earth <span style="color: #800000; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 20pt;"> Like babies at birth <span style="color: #800000; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 20pt;"> Coming down to Earth <span style="color: #800000; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 20pt;"> We’re gonna find new priorities <span style="color: #800000; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 20pt;"> These are extraordinary qualities <span style="color: #800000; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 20pt;"> We’re coming down to the ground <span style="color: #800000;

Canción final de la película “Down to Earth” de Peter Gabriel Lee las siguientes frases de la canción que acompaña los créditos de la película:

¿Pensabas que tus pies estaban amarrados? ¿Te sentías engañado? Cuando estás lejos en el espacio, esas reglas no funcionan Así que vuelve, desciende… Volvamos a la Tierra No hay mejor sitio donde ir Tenemos nieve en las montañas Tenemos ríos que van al mar Volvamos a la Tierra Oiremos el canto de los pájaros en los árboles Cuidaremos la Tierra Esparciremos las semillas a través de la brisa Aunque tengas miedo al cambio Tienes lo más importante en tu interior adelante, puedes venir como mi invitada Nos sentíamos como en casa Aprendimos a vivir sobre la tierra Aprendimos a trepar sobre los árboles Después aprendimos a caminar erguidos Pero queríamos volar Y cuando destruimos nuestro hogar en la Tierra Establecimos naves en el espacio Volvamos a la Tierra Como niños naciendo de nuevo
