lyrics

The planes stopped flying
They’ve no-where to go
The people are staying
At home
The streets are empty
There once was plenty
The old afraid
To die alone

The world’s in hiding
The market’s sliding
And social distance
Is now the key

It’s person to person
This one to one
It’s symptomatic
Of everyone
It’s all so novel
This latest phase
Is there any hope
For the human race

So stay away
I’m not okay
I’m so afraid
To touch my face

The planes stopped flying
The planes stopped flying
The planes stopped flying
To Rome

This isolation
My quarantine
I can’t remember
Where I’ve been

The planes stopped flying
They’ve no-where to go
Cause people are staying
At home
