One fine day in my odd past I picked me up a transmission I turned the fission ignition Went looking for the broadcaster And when I first touched some ground They simply told me leave Was kind of hard to believe Cause there was not one around This ain't the planet sound This ain't the planet sound This ain't the planet sound This ain't the planet sound I had a talented wine That land o' classical gas And on the planet of glass They sent me skipping through time I got to somewhere renowned For it's canals and color of red And lots of guys who shook their heads Rhythmically to resound This ain't the planet of sound This ain't the planet of sound This ain't the planet of sound This ain't the planet of sound This ain't no rock and roll town This ain't no fuckin' around This ain't no planet of sound I met a guy in a rover He said its one more over Its just there where your bound This ain't the planet of sound This ain't the planet of sound This ain't the planet of sound This ain't the planet of sound.
