Lyrics

Fighter Plane

Stones falling down Roller coaster, heart pound Fears overplayed Two left feet emergency Wide open space Catch my tail Fishing net Fold up my frown Take the rage And smooth it out Stick to my skin Paper mache face to live in Same view to paint Watercolour your name Face your mistakes (You will never have to feel that way again) Oil your chains, under rate (You will never have to feel that way again) Read every page (You will never have to feel that way again) Press the dents, fighter plane I held the fort, and I swung my sword I have muted the screams I have broken the falls Oh I have fought, and I swung my sword I have muted the screams I have broken the falls Fighter Plane Fighter Plane Fighter Plane Fighter Plane Fly away!
