Just before the afternoon creeps in

Just before it gets too hot to be outside

I like to lay on my back in the grass and

watch the airplanes go by and I dream that

you are an airplane shooting across the sky



You are an airplane

You're a strong and dangerous machine

When you fall you'll fall down so fast

When you crash I want to go down with you

We'll make such a horrible mess



Just before the eyeball appears

Just before the little birds go to sleep

I like to stand on my head and pretend

that I am a control tower

and that you are an airplane

and I can talk you safely to the ground



The way you live your life makes me nervous

If you were to die

I'd have no reason to be alive

cause you are my only friend
