[Chorus]
Why don’t we get high and watch Planet Earth? (x3)
Planet Earth, Planet Earth
Watch it spin, watch it spin
You and me, planet earth

[Verse 1]
And yes, yes, let's let's let’s get some takeout
Press our hearts together like when kids make Barbies make out
Let's make out, no toothpaste
I only want to know how you taste
We don't need to tie no shoelace
And we don't need to pack no suitcase
To, to find a new place. Let our moment linger
We'll weave our hands together and then kiss this braid of fingers
Until the whisper, whisper of time's undying rivers
Come decorate our skin with crow’s feet, spider-veins and fissures
But we won't cry, we won't cry, we'll step into that cyclone
Together when we're blinded and our minds erode like limestone
And all we can remember's how we make each other feel, then…

[Chorus]
Why don’t we get high and watch Planet Earth? (x3)
Planet Earth, Planet Earth
Watch it spin, watch it spin
You and me, planet earth

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
Why don’t we get high and watch Planet Earth? (x3)
Planet Earth, Planet Earth
Watch it spin, watch it spin
You and me, planet earth

[Outro - Paul Watsky]
…Ah, the hippies, ah, were sort of wide-eyed with floppy pants and things like that. I thought there were some good things about what they were doing—a lot of good things, especially the sex…

A successful slam poet turned rapper, Watsky first gained attention through ‘Russell Simmons’ HBO Def Poetry,’ and a later burst of viral success for his fast rapping. At every turn, Watsky has refused to be pigeonholed, following up his speed rap success with 2013 LP Cardboard Castles, an eccentric ode to creativity, and 2014’s Anderson. Paak-produced All You Can Do. After a hiatus to work on new material, Watsky pivots again, this time to prose, returning simultaneously with the essay collection How To Ruin Everything, published by Plume/Penguin-Random House, of which Hamilton creator Lin-Manuel Miranda writes, “funny, subversive […] you find yourself nodding your head in wonder and recognition.” How To Ruin Everything debuted in the New York Times best-selling list. In total, he has created five studio albums and two live albums. Watsky released his fifth album, x INFINITY August 2016, describing it as his most ambitious project yet. Most recently, in January of 2019, he released a short album called Complaint.
