The Autopilot (Live)

(album: The Other Side: B-Sides And Rarities - 2009)

Go!

I have a house on the edge of the sea
Built with my hands
On the rock, not the sand
And the earth will tremble beneath my floor
And the sea, she will pound her fists on my door
But I, will trust the foundation

Oh if I-I-I am an aeroplane
I will soar until they shoot me down
And if I cannot fly it, I trust the autopilot
The autopilot, he never let me down
Oh I would never let me down

I have a bird that I ride out over the sea
I see colours when it sings
I see holes all in it's wings
And the wind will howl and thrash all night
But our bones, our bones are hollow and light
Don't you see?
I have trust, trust in my bones

Oh if I-I-I am an aeroplane
I will soar until they shoot me down
And if I cannot fly it, I trust the autopilot
The autopilot, he never let me down
Oh I would never let me down

And the wind will howl and thrash all night
But our bones, our bones are hollow and light
Don't you see?
I trust the foundation!

Well if I-I-I am an aeroplane
I will soar until they shoot me down
And if I cannot fly it, I trust the autopilot
Oh and the autopilot, he never let me down

Well if I-I-I am an aeroplane
I will soar until they shoot me down
And if I cannot fly it, I trust the autopilot
Oh and the autopilot, he never let me down

No the pilot, he never let me down
No the pilot never let...me...down
