Planets

Stardate 12.08.03


The ship’s gone, the night’s out


The air’s dry, the end’s near


Maybe even sometime this week

Out here planets look like holes to me

Oh, I’m okay [Insert awkward laughter here]


I may be brave, collected


But destined to live this

Lonely in this atmosphere

Out here planets like ghosts they disappear

‘Cause you can’t see life living on my planet


But it gets so lonely here on this planet


That I would leave it

No hard feelings

Broken things mend


I’m not angry – Yes, just so disappointed

Not Paris, it’s much too perfect


You are right, a long ride


Don’t want it; we don’t fit


You knew it’d never happen

Out here planets leave like lies from lips

How could you leave me alone on my planet?


I want to live with you there on your planet


I’d even believe you

No hard feelings

Broken things mend


I’m not angry – Yet, just so disappointed 


No hard feelings - Broken things mend


Prob’ly won’t die yet – I’m just so disappointed

You can’t see life living on my planet


But it gets so lonely here on this planet


What could I do to live with you on your planet


And why with so many billion other planets


You had to leave mine?
