"11 Planets" lyrics - LISA LOEB

When everyday's just the same
The sun comes up and sets below the desert planes
And then I wait as it starts to fill up the sky
One by one weaves the tapestry of lights
I get to fly

I don't need an airplane or a red balloon or camel or a train
I just close my eyes and I float past the moon and into outer space
My Very Exciting Magic Carpet Just Sailed Under Nine Palace Elephants.
My Very Exciting Magic Carpet Just Sailed Under Nine Palace Elephants.

Floating fast on our ride
I soar past 11 planets as I'm
Flying through the solar system

Starting with the closest from the sun
Maryn found a way to list 'em
Now I can remember every one

My Very Exciting Magic Carpet Just Sailed Under Nine Palace Elephants.
My Very Exciting Magic Carpet Just Sailed Under Nine Palace Elephants.

Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Ceres, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto, Eris.
Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Ceres, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto, Eris.
My Very Exciting Magic Carpet Just Sailed Under Nine Palace Elephants.
My Very Exciting Magic Carpet Just Sailed Under Nine Palace Elephants
