Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I heard a girl in a dress
Say her face was a mess
I heard there's no reason why
I heard that now's the time to buy
[PreChorus]
On planet Earth
I'll probably stay
On planet Earth
It's a place to live your life
[Chorus]
Where pleasure follows pain
People go insane
Fly around in planes
Pray that it won't rain
Drive around in cars
Get drunk in local bars
Dream of being stars
Well, I lived all my life on planet Earth
[Verse 2]
I saw a girl lose all control
Ah, when she lost her new mink stole
I saw her try to catch a man
Things I couldn't understand
[PreChorus]
On planet Earth
I'll probably stay
On planet Earth
It's a place to live your life
[Chorus]
Where pleasure follows pain
People go insane
Fly around in planes
Pray that it won't rain
Drive around in cars
Get drunk in local bars
Dream of being stars
Well, I lived all my life on planet Earth
[Verse 3]
I saw a man on a stage
Scream, "Put me back in my cage"
I saw him hang by his tie
I saw enough to make me cry
[Outro]
On planet Earth
On planet Earth
I lived all my life
I lived all my life
On planet Earth
I lived all my life
I lived all my life
On planet Earth
I lived all my life
I lived all my life
On planet Earth
I lived all my life
I lived all my life
On planet Earth
I lived all my life
