In your mind you have capacities you know To telepath messages through the vast unknown Please close your eyes and concentrate With every thought you think Upon the recitation we're about to sing Calling occupants of interplanetary craft Calling occupants of interplanetary, most extraordinary craft Calling occupants of interplanetary craft Calling occupants of interplanetary craft Calling occupants of interplanetary, most extraordinary craft You've been observing our earth And we'd like to make a contact with you We are your friends Calling occupants of interplanetary craft Calling occupants of interplanetary ultra emissaries We've been observing your earth And one night we'll make a contact with you We are your friends Calling occupants of interplanetary quite extraordinary craft And please come in pace we beseech you (Only of love we will teach you) Our earth may never survive (So don't come we beg you) Please interstellar policemen Won't you give us a sign give us a sign that we've reached you With your mind you have ability to form And transmit thought energy far beyond the norm You close your eyes, you concentrate, together that's the way To send a message we declare World Contact Day Calling occupants of interplanetary craft Calling occupants of interplanetary craft Calling occupants of interplanetary, most extraordinary craft Calling occupants Calling occupants Calling occupants of interplanetary, anti-adversary craft We are your friends
In the notes to the Carpenters: The Compact Disc Collection, Richard Carpenter wrote:
Our selection of songs for this project made Passage a bit of a departure from our previous recordings. I am still fond of every song on this album but would like to mention the history of two:
Calling Occupants Of Interplanetary Craft - I heard this song on Canadian group Klaatu's debut album and couldn't resist recording it. (Lyrics such as these don't come along every day!) Peter Knight penned the creative orchestration to my arrangement. In addition to the guitar work, Tony Peluso reprises his role as the befuddled D.J. This performance must be fairly convincing for following its release we received numerous letters wanting to know when in fact, "World Contact Day" was scheduled! Occupants was remixed for this set.
