Aeroplane, a silver membrane* Cutting slate gray skies Submarine, a silver membrane Diving straight, diving straight I canât dive, I canât fly I cannot follow I must trudge on my own I cannot borrow from tomorrow Thinnest membrane Hollow cell frame Piercing, breaking Surface tension And I said, I said, âPlease donât leave me aloneâ And you said, you said, You wouldnât go very far Youâll forget about me And I will be so lonely Whichever way you depart Far away is too far
