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 floating 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
