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
