lyrics
take me away in a plastic engine in the sky
wish me the size of a limbless little action figure
it's not enough / for taking off
for taking aim / for breaking up
watch as the sun turns me into an outline on the wall
tracing the lines with a finger, a shadow moving picture
it's not enough / for taking off
for taking aim / for breaking up
floating away from the trouble brewing on the lawn
choosing today to be weightless, flying far and faceless
it's not enough / for taking off
for taking aim / for breaking up
