lyrics

TIN CAN PLANET

I'm in a good place sat in a field
I'm in a good place sat in a field
And the field is on a planet
And the planet's spinning 'round
And the field is on a planet
And the planet's spinning 'round
I'm in a good place in a field
On a planet spinning 'round

Looking from this vantage point
I see a world that needs to take a chill pill
I can't believe there's something
Up there we don't know about

I'm in a good place looking down
On all the bad things that we made
My eyes deceive - this can't be real

I'm in a good place
A good place in a field
And the field is on a planet
And the planet's spinning 'round

Floating in a tin can
A tin can in a field
And the field is on a planet
And the planet's spinning 'round
I'm in a good place in a field
On a planet spinning 'round

And the planet's still spinning 'round
Got a fuel tank run down underground
But the sun, the wind, the tides are free
It ain't a distant far-off galaxy
And we're spinning 'round the centre
Of our universe and we can see
There's people everywhere
I hope somebody cares

Because we're floating in a tin can
A tin can in a field
And the field is on a planet
And the planet's spinning 'round
Floating in a tin can
The tin can's in a field
And the field is on a planet
And the planet's spinning 'round

We're in a good place - keep it real
On a planet spinning 'round
