Black Planet

In the western sky
My kingdom come
So still, so dark all over Europe
And I ride down the highway 101
By the side of the ocean headed for sunset
For the kingdom come
For the black
Black planet
Black
Black world
Black
Black planet
Black
Black world
Run around in the radiation
Run around in the acid rain
On a black
Black planet
Black planet hanging over the highway
Out of my mind's eye
Out of the memory
Black world out of my mind
So still, so dark all over Europe
And the rainbow rises here
In the western sky, the kill to show for
At the end of the great white pier
I see a black
Black planet
Black
Black world
Black
Black planet
Black
Black world
And run around in the radiation
Tune in, turn on
You burn out
In the acid rain
On a black
Black planet
Black
Black world
Black
Black planet
Black
Black world
Black
Black planet
Black
Black world
Black
Black planet
Black
Black world
