Airplane

Indigo Girls · Rites Of Passage [1992]

Up on the airplane

Nearer, my God, to Thee

I start making a deal

inspired by gravity

[inspired by gravity]



If I did wrong I won't do it again

Cause I can be sweet and good and nice

And if I had enemies, they're friends

I hold on to my life with the grip of a vice



And I'm up the airplane

[up on the airplane]

Nearer, my God, to Thee

[nearer my god]

I start making a deal

inspired by gravity

[inspired by gravity]



That little spot on the ground

is my home town

Like to call it my home and it's sweet

I'd rather take a seat down there

than a throne up here

Up above 30,000 feet

And I'm up on the airplane



I never should've read my horoscope

Or the fortune on a bubblegum strip

Saying, "what you think won't happen will"

Great thing to read before a trip

On an airplane



Thought says the

big blue sky's like a swimming pool

Big fluffy cloud's like a feather bed

But I'd rather have a real pillow

underneath my head

Lying in my bed

which is in my hometown

which is on the ground



Far from an airplane

[My bed, my hometown]

Far from an airplane

[on the ground. My bed, my hometown,]

Far from an airplane

[on the ground. My bed, my hometown,]

On the airplane

[on the ground]

[I'll be making a deal]

I'm up on the airplane

[on the ground]

[I'll be making a deal]

On the airplane

[I'll be making a deal]

[I'll be making a deal]

[I'll be making a deal]
