Only came outside to watch the nightfall 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

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

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

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

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

    General Comment:It kind of sounds like he's all alone on the planet.
    "There's no sign of life," maybe he was the only survivor after a nuclear war.

    "my eyes are so cloudy i can't see you" it's probably the smoke from the bombs.

    "Is there anybody out there trying to get through?"
    He's alone waiting to see if someone will come to possibly create life all over again, it's very hopeful.

    General Comment:This is about the threat of Nuclear War, I think. It's a great song. Very New Romantic-like.
