Wingwalker

From Uranus1993

Written by Shellac

Produced by Bob Weston

Lyrics

Wingwalker

Time was, I could move my arms like a bird

Fly!

She was a wingwalker

Pitgirl of the sky

[Verse]

And now I got an engine

A big perverted engine

It runs on strength of will

Who could deny me the right to fly?

You know, it's my art

When I form my body in the shape of a plane...

[Chorus]

I'm a plane!

I'm a plane!

I'm a plane!

I'm a plane!

[Verse]

Now I got an airframe

A big perverted airframe

You know, It's my art

When I disguise my body in the shape of a plane

[Chorus]

I'm a plane! (I'm a plane!)

I'm a plane! (I'm a plane!)

I'm a plane! (I'm a plane!)

I'm a plane! (I'm a plane!)

[Outro]

, Steve Albini

(Look at me, look at me - I'm a plane! Look at me, I'm a plane! Look at me!)

And the plane becomes a metaphor for my life

And as I suffer for it

Like I'm insane, as it says...

So she suffers under the weight of my plane

You know? It's my art! When I disguise my body in the shape of a plane...

Plane! (Plane!)
