Paper Plane

Status Quo · Top 100 [2010]

Riding on a big white butterfly

I turned my back away towards the sky

I closed my eyes to look for something

Saw myself as really nothing

Then I realized my butterfly

Wasn't really up there with me

We all make mistakes, forgive me

Would you like to ride my butterfly?



Riding on a long blue paper plane

Getting seasick, sorry once again

Landing strip is getting nearer

Hope the fog lifts, makes it clearer

Then I realized my paper plane

Wasn't really up there with me

We all make mistakes, forgive me

Would you like to ride my paper plane?



Riding in a three grand Deutsche car

A to B is often very far

Home is near, but such a long way

Legs and heads all feel the wrong way

Then I realized my Deutsche car

Is only there to get me somewhere

Even so I really do care

Would you like to ride my Deutsche car?
