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
