Air Traffic Lyrics

[Verse 1]
The bird is here and we are off
To wherever those wings take us
The atmosphere is crawling with airlines
That wind through the clouds and look down on the crowds
Relax your back and let the noise
Sing you to sleep in my arms
If you awake before we arrive I will carry you down
And I won't make a sound

[Verse 2]
The scent is strong as we move on
And breathe in the pristine crime scene
The false veneer is old like a substitute volunteer
From, oh, some other year
I'm just a shell as far as I can tell
So I paint my eyes a light green
The silver beams are twirling
And swirling throughout your dreams like air traffic streams

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
