I always flirt with death I could kill, but I don't care about it I can face your threats And stand up straight and tall and shout about it I think I'm on another world with you, with you I'm on another planet with you, with you You get under my skin I don't find it irritating You always play to win But I won't need rehabilitating, oh no I think I'm on another world with you, with you I'm on another planet with you, with you Another girl, another planet Another girl, another planet Space travels in my blood There ain't nothing I can do about it Long journeys wear me out But I know I can't live without it, oh no I think I'm on another world with you, with you I'm on another planet with you, with you Another girl is loving you now Another planet, is holding you down Another planet
