Nightplane

(album: Pretty Girls & Grey Sweaters - 2012)

So dark it's like everything is gone
Staring at the things his momma wanted to show him
She pointed to the one he liked saying
That's not pretty, that's a nightplane
That's not pretty, that's a nightplane
That's not pretty, that's a nightplane
That's not pretty, that's a nightplane

Mouth wide, they laugh at us
She said: That's just two hundred nervous passengers
Wrapped in metal, bags, fuel and bad food, but yo
All she did was make it more beautiful
She just made it more beautiful
All she did was make it more beautiful
All she did was make it more beautiful

He's just a half a hand years old
Doesn't notice but he's never been this cold
The sky looks like a reflection of the city
Except that it is a lot more pretty
It's a lot more pretty

And there's a billion of those other things, I like that nightplane

Red eyes on the red eye
Red and blue lights, like Jedi
She don't know where I stand
I'm on the rooftop, waving like here I am
But she doesn't see me though
My man telling me to lighten up
Despite the new clothes the shine just isn't bright enough
Now and then turns to night and day
Wish that I could bring her down right away
And then it hits me that it just might last
And then it hits me that it just might crash
So dear pilot, I know you well educated and skilled, and I admire it
But it's three in the morning and I know you probably tired
This is probably boring you, but I need to make sure that you don't close a single eyelid
Bring her back safe and sound
Please be extra careful when you take her down
She scared, dear stranger, please hold her hand
I don't care where she been, all that matter's where she land
And to the co-pilot, please stay in your seat
Unless you bringing him coffee so that he don't fall asleep
And if she fall asleep, it's okay, we both dreamers
Remember when there was nothing between us
Now we real close, because there's nothing between us
How she so far away, when there is nothing between us
Tell me have you seen us?

There's a billion balls of burning fire miles and miles away, and only one nightplane (with my baby on it)
There's a billion balls of burning fire miles and miles away, and only one nightplane (with my baby on it)
There's a billion balls of burning fire miles and miles away, and only one nightplane (with my baby on it)

There's a billion balls of burning fire miles and miles away, and only one nightplane
