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
