Doesn’t anyone at all want anyone to notice Doesn’t anyone at all want anyone to know this That you could take me away to another planet And you could show me the way to another planet Cause I’ve got a long way to go, cause I’ve got a long way to go, cause I’ve got a long way to go And you better know Why would anyone at all take anything for granted Why would anyone at all take anyone for granted You could take me away to another planet And you could show me the way to another planet Cause I’ve got a long way to go, cause I’ve got a long way to go, cause I’ve got a long way to go And you better know, you better know, you better know, you better know (I.

Did you hear that Pluto has just been demoted Too small for a planet The community voted Reborn as you are yet still in my vision But it wasn’t me So blame it on them… Alternate lyrics: We’re sorry Pluto you’ve just been demoted Too small for a planet The community voted Reborn as you are in our solar system But it wasn’t me So blame it on them… (T.

I sit back in my chair and I grip my beer, I get lonely I swing up through the trees as I smoke my weed, I get lonely Lonely, lonely Lonely lonely I run through the hills when I take my spills, I get lonely I sleep on the days as it never fades, I get lonely I get lonely, I get lonely I get lonely, I get lonely Sit back in my chair I sit back in my chair and I let them stare, I get lonely I swim out in the sea when I need the breeze, I get lonely I get lonely, I get lonely I get lonely, I get lonely (I. Margolycz)
