Planet of A Thousand Lies

The Not There Kids crash landed, brush off the
Metal and the dust
400 million years in this atmosphere
Lost children of oblivion
Scrapped, forgotten and left stranded
Birthplace of Little Boy Blue
They break into the banks of time
On their exquisite radios

There'll
Be no repeat performance
So all
Dreamers start your diamonds
The trapped ones have come to warn us
Of the Planet of a Thousand Lies

Up from electric skies come bandits
Their Hiroshima ships came apart
Their image burns as the planet turns
In the light of exploding stars
This Eden machine is broken
Immortal Shangri-la is done
As the blueprint fades in an afterlife blaze
Full speed ahead of the sun

There'll be no repeat performance
So all dreamers start your diamonds
The trapped one's have come to warn us
Of the Planet of a Thousand Lies

The Not There Kids crash-landed
Brush off the metal and the dust
400 million years in this atmosphere
Lost children of oblivion
Scrapped, forgotten and left stranded
Birthplace of Little Boy Blue
They break into the banks of time
On their exquisite radios

There'll be no repeat performance
So all dreamers start your diamonds
The trapped one's have come to warn us
Of the Planet of a Thousand Lies
Planet of A Thousand Lies
