Making a lane from the gate to the plane



Do you think I could just crash here



Under the aluminium bell



In the jetway



Stepping out of the light



In his cap and his stripes



Can he tame this machine



And I'm counting out the miles I have crossed



And the places I've never seen



Aeroplane



I am already in you



Do you wonder where I've been



Where I'm going to



Do you wonder how the soul survives



Heaven help me I get too high too fast sometimes



Set me down on the cold cold ground



In the sound of firing laser drums



Where the parallel lights



Cut a path in the night



In a slow rotating gaze



There's a warm wind blowing on a wide yellow beach



It only we could breathe it in



Like the noblest gas



From the hole in the mask



That you wear on your skin



Aeroplane



I am already in you



Do you wonder where I've been



Where I'm going to



Do you wonder how the soul survives



Heaven help me I get too high too fast sometimes



And disappear into myself



Ride a retreat to the end



Like it was where I belong



In the slow steady arc of a stone



In a long black shadow



Over the ocean



And onto the great plain below



Aeroplane



I am already in you



Do you wonder where I've been



Where I'm going to



Do you wonder how the soul survives



Heaven help me I get too high too fast sometimes
