If This Plane Goes Down
Could I be more of a cliché? Thirty thousand feet above Nebraska Scratching lyrics on a napkin Praying that this turbulence will spare my wine The plane is mostly empty But for three hundred and twenty other humans All staking their existence on a couple of dozen rivets Straining between fuselage and wing A truth we’re only coping with with drinking If this plane goes down I hope that I’m one of the cool ones Will I have the nerve to play the clown If this plane goes down? If this plane goes down Remember me as someone who tried To find a balance between self-loathing and pride Dug too hard for love at times So if it ends in flames and fuel Please tell the kids I kept my cool If my time is up and this plane goes down If this plane goes down Letras de cancionesAs we hit the ground, I wanna be smiling Happily Hades bound As this plane goes down If this plane goes down Remember me as someone who cared Often, but not always, about his hair Self-righteous when shit wasn’t fair So if it ends in fire and glass Please tell the kids I went down classy If my time is up and this plane goes down I’ve no regrets as such It’s just a shame, I’ve so much still to do If my youth was wasted on me, that’s okay Because I wasted it with you, my love And from up above this planet looking down The world reduced to green and browns Toy trains in paper mache towns And just for now the trials of human kind Reduced by alcohol and wine I really think that I’ll be fine If my time was up and this plane goes down If this plane goes down I hope that I can get people smiling Will I have the nerve to tool around If this plane goes down? If this plane goes down Remember me as someone who went down with Fair results, but bold intent Found his meaning in how phrases can be bent To the will; where will my remains be sent To be eventually dentally identified? So if it ends in floods of tears Please tell my kids I felt no fears Tell them that the smoke will clear Tell them I didn’t spill a drop of beer When my time is up and this plane goes down When my time is up and this plane goes down From Letras Mania
