Sitting here, staring out the window
Traffic always makes me feel like I m coming home
/
Cold blood bleeding still at least I m breathing
Patiently waiting clinging on to my mobile phone
Cracked skull with a creepy mind inside
I m planning the greatest of escapes, you know
Patiently waiting in the line
Soon I m gonna stand up
Yeah, I m gonna rear up and
/
There s no escape. Lonely pla-net
/
Oh, it s too late. Lonely pla-net
/
So la la la, la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la la la
/
Cold blood bleeding, still at least I m breathing
Patiently waiting soon I m gonna take control
Cracked skull with a creepy mind inside
I m planning the greatest of escapes
Patiently waiting in the line
Soon I m gonna stand up
Yeah, I m gonna rear up and
/
There s no escape. Lonely pla-net

Oh, it s too late. Lonely pla-net
