[Verse 1]
All systems were go as the spaceship left Detroit
With Planet X-17 as our destination tonight
The craft hit some mystery turbulence
And then we heard a sort of rolling buzz
They took our minds
We lost our minds
We must escape because
[Chorus]
We were trapped inside the planet of the roller-skating bees
'Cus we were trapped inside the planet of the roller-skating bees
'Cus we were trapped inside the planet of the roller-skating bees
[Verse 2]
Their eyes were blank-dead sockets
Like two pissholes in the snow
Their busy buzzing cheap clichés
Will give you social climberitis in your toe
All they have is beedium
All the alternatives are banned
But be careful you stick to the script they know
'Cus they sting when they don't understand
They go like this
OOH AAA OOH AAA
[Bridge]
Don't try thinkin it ain't worth a dime
You're on the planet of the bees tonight
Straight things start makin wiggly lines
It's not funny when they take your mind
It's one weird warping potty time tonight yeah
[Chorus]
'Cus we were trapped inside the planet of the roller-skating bees
'Cus we were trapped inside the planet of the roller-skating bees
'Cus we were trapped inside the planet of the roller-skating bees
[Outro]
'Cus we were trapped inside the planet
Trapped inside the planet
'Cus we were trapped inside the planet
Trapped inside the planet
'Cus we were trapped inside the planet
Trapped inside the planet
'Cus we were trapped inside the planet of the roller-skating bees!
