Cover art for Third Stone From The Sun lyrics by Jimi Hendrix Experience, The

"I'm in orbit around the third planet..." = Jimi is high above it all...observing the world and its ways as an outsider...not aliens, he's talking about himself. He's below a "higher power", the "mothership". He's imagining putting the world to an end? Or maybe that's what he imagines aliens would.

I think it's supposed to be "may you never hear surf music again"...

"although your world wonders me, with your majestic and superior cackling hen" = aliens admire the hen..? wtf? Maybe it means they have no natural resources or something...no means of getting food? Or maybe it's just too much LSD...

"your people I do not understand, so to you I shall put an end..." = the way you behave makes no sense, you're crazy bastards, die!!

"May you never hear...surf music..again...." = Jimi Hendrix was completely opposite to Surf Music in sound, and also not a traditionalist in philosophy, so I think he thought this was funny. I sure do. =)
