David Andrew Sitek - Bird in an Aeroplane lyrics

[Verse 1] Feathered to the tips Light weight, but strong I can only go this long Iron, steel, and smoke Your power is endless I'm only flesh and bones [Pre-Chorus] Every machine has a promise to break Stuck in a dream that I may not escape [Chorus] I pray for hurricanes You take off when I want to stay Out of steam, I'm off terrain I'm a bird in an aeroplane [Verse 2] Crossing continents We're going in loops Tell me will we ever land Longing to return To somewhere I've known, something quite familiar (oh oh) [Pre-Chorus] [Chorus] [Verse 3] We're flying over mountains higher every day I'm trying to keep up Trying to match your game While you are gaining height I'm fading into grey And away… [Chorus]
