Bird In An Aeroplane

Feathered to the tips

Light weight but strong

I can only go this long

Iron steel and smoke

Your power is endless

I’m only flesh and bones

Every machine has a promise to break

Stuck in a dream that I cannot escape

I pray for hurricanes

You take off when I want to stay

Out of steam I’m off terrain

I’m a bird in an aeroplane

Crossing continents

We’re going in loops

Tell me will we ever land

Longing to return

To somewhere I’ve known something quite familiar ooh

Every machine has a promise to break

Stuck in a dream that I cannot escape

I pray for hurricanes

You take off when I want to stay

Out of steam I’m off terrain

I’m a bird in an aeroplane

We’re flying over mountains higher every day

I’m trying to keep up

Trying to match your game

While you are gaining height I’m fading into grey

And away…

I pray for hurricanes

You take off when I want to stay

Out of steam I’m off terrain

I’m a bird in an aeroplane

I pray for hurricanes

You take off when I want to stay

Out of steam I’m off terrain

I’m a bird in an aeroplane
