Feathered to the tips Lightweight but strong I can only go this long Iron, steam and smoke Your power is endless I'm only flesh and bone Airing machine holds a promise to break Stuck in the dream that I may not 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 Airing machine holds a promise to break Stuck in the dream that I may not 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
