Indigo Girls - Airplane lyrics

Up on the airplane

Nearer my God to thee

I start making a deal

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 their friends

I'll hold to my life with the grip of a vice

And I'm up on the airplane

Nearer my God to thee

I start making a deal

Inspired by gravity

That little spot on the ground is my hometown

I 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 30000 feet

And I'm up on the airplane

I never should have read my horoscope

Or the fortune on the bubble strip

Saying what you think won't happen will

A great thing to read before a trip

On an airplane

Pilot says the big blue sky's like a swimming pool

Big fluffy clouds like a feather bed

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]

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]
