Cancelled flights, limousines
Hustle bustles, crazy scenes
First you’re here, then you’re there
Pretty soon man, you been everywhere

Ooh, this planet’s on fire
Oh, Satan’s desire
We’ve seen the rise, we’ll see the fall
He’s here to see us all
Burn in hell

Time ticks away, faster, faster
You run so fast you forget what you’re after
You make a deal to sell your soul
Just to find out, baby, it’s been sold

Ooh, this planet’s on fire
Oh, Satan’s desire
We’ve seen the rise, we’ll see the fall
He’s here to see us all
Burn in hell
Burn in hell

Not me, baby

Ooh, this planet’s on fire
Oh, Satan’s desire
We’ve seen the rise, we’ll see the fall
He’s here to see us all
Burn in hell

Fine, white lines of crystal light
Keep us up all day and all night
Ooh, we’re just forgotten boys and girls
Who thrive on cosmic toys

Ooh, this planet’s on fire
Oh, Satan’s desire
We’ve seen the rise, we’ll see the fall
He’s here to see us all
Burn in hell
Burn in hell
Owwww

(This planet’s on fire)
(This planet’s on fire)

Ooh, this planet’s on fire
Oh, Satan’s desire
Ooh, this planet’s on fire
Oh, Satan’s desire, yeah

Yes!
