This is planet earth you're looking at planet earth Bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop this is planet earth My head is stuck on something precious, let me know If you're coming down to land Is there anybody out there trying to get through? My eyes are so cloudy I can't see you Look now, look all around There's no sign of life Voices, another sound Can you hear me now? This is planet earth, you're looking at planet earth Bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop this is planet earth Look now, look all around There's no sign of life Voices, another sound Can you hear me now?
