until the wheels got stuck
And we tumbled out at a city park
We always had a fire if we had a spark
We hung on until the plane went down
while they gave him a crown
that maybe we'd have seen the gun
they weren't all that bad
But looking back there was
when those nights grew long
Now, I don't think I've ever seen
anything as pretty as a flying machine
Way up there in the cold, cold air
Some body's really gonna go somewhere
I don't think I've ever seen
anything as pretty as a flying ma
Later on when the fire went out
We were waiting on something
And we tried to speak when the tide came in
But everybody knows that's when
the deafening waves begin
Now I don't regret the days we had
they weren't all that bad
But looking back there was
when those nights grew long
And I don't think I've ever seen
Anything as pretty as a flying machine
Way up there in the cold, cold air
Somebody's really gonna go somewhere
And I don't think I've ever seen
Anything as pretty as a flying ma
Why does it take so long to understand
What's happening all around you
Why does it take so long to understand
I don't think I've ever seen
anything as pretty as a flying machine
Way up there in the cold, air
Somebody's really gonna go somewhere
I don't think I've ever seen
anything as pretty as a flying ma
Now I don't regret the days we had
they weren't all that bad
