[Verse 1: Simon Le Bon]
Only came outside to watch the night fall with the rain
I heard you making patterns rhyme
Like some new romantic looking for the TV sound
You'll see I'm right some other time
[Chorus: Simon Le Bon, Andy Taylor & John Taylor]
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 Parth
[Verse 2: Simon Le Bon]
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
[Chorus: Simon Le Bon, Andy Taylor & John Taylor]
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
[Interlude]
[Chorus: Simon Le Bon, Andy Taylor & John Taylor]
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
[Outro: Simon Le Bon, Andy Taylor & John Taylor]
Bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop, calling Planet Earth
Bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop, looking at Planet Earth
Bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop, this is Planet Earth
Only came outside to watch the night fall with the rain
I heard you making patterns rhyme
Like some new romantic looking for the TV sound
You'll see I'm right some other time
[Chorus: Simon Le Bon, Andy Taylor & John Taylor]
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 Parth
[Verse 2: Simon Le Bon]
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
[Chorus: Simon Le Bon, Andy Taylor & John Taylor]
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
[Interlude]
[Chorus: Simon Le Bon, Andy Taylor & John Taylor]
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
[Outro: Simon Le Bon, Andy Taylor & John Taylor]
Bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop, calling Planet Earth
Bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop, looking at Planet Earth
Bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop, this is Planet Earth
