Making a lane from the gate to the plane Do you think I could just crash here Under the aluminium bell In the jetwayStepping 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 seenAeroplane 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 sometimesSet 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 gazeThere'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 skinAeroplane 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 sometimesAnd 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 belowAeroplane 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
