Aeroplane, a silver membrane* Cutting slate gray skies Submarine, a silver membrane Diving straight, diving straight I can't dive, I can't fly I cannot follow I must trudge on my own I cannot borrow from tomorrow Thinnest membrane Hollow cell frame
Piercing, breaking Surface tension And I said, I said “Please don't leave me alone” And you said, you said You wouldn't go very far You'll forget about me And I will be so lonely Whichever way you depart Far away is too far
