"Planes" lyrics

"Planes"

I love planes
Jet aircraft
I love planes
Jet aircraft

He was just a little boy and he sat there in his school
And the little girl in the very next chair
She thought he was so cool
She watched him draw and draw
Planes and wings and flying things
Even during tests he'd keep on drawing
And his mother didn't want him
And his father was always working
So he just set his head to the center of the sky and dreamed of
Flying at first like a leaf floating in the air
Now like an eagle soaring there
Flying great roaring engines now will lift my wings
Rockets now and spacecraft to the center of the sky

I'm getting ready for a great leap forward
Ready for a leap in the pool
Ready to touch the stars again
Ready to go back to school
Putting the pieces together
Put on your wings and come with me and
Fly fly fly to the center of the sky
Let's go flying

I love planes
Experimental aircraft
I love planes
Jet jet jet aircraft
Breaking through
The sound barrier
Into
Into the light

And the little little boy is still like a little boy
He met another little girl
They made another little boy
And the new little guy still loves planes and flying things
And both his mother and father love him and
Hold him and hug him whenever he needs it and
Soon will send him lovingly to the center of the sky
And teach him flying and dreaming and visions true flying

I love planes
Jet aircraft
I do love planes
Sensual aircraft
