Airports

"You little creep"
That's what she said
"These quotes from your mother
Get better everyday
You'll be nothing
Just like your father
At least that's what the kids
At school say"

JAMIE spent her Christmas
At the airport
She said planes made her feel like
She could get away
I spent Christmas
In the detox ward
I wish I had an airport
Someday
'Cause some days are just so hard

And we hung like spacstations and rocketships
And dreamed like we were beings of the sky
And we dressed like kings and queens and lovers and
We shouted out into the night "We're never gonna die"

And I've waited here for hours
Hoping that you'd call
My dialing finger's tired
Your machine is full
And I've taken eighteen showers
Just to pass the time
And that fuckin' phone just rang
But it wasn't you on the line
And you don't seem to mind

That we hung like spacstations and rocketships
And dreamed like we were beings of the sky
And we dressed like kings and queens and lovers and
We shouted out into the night "We're never gonna die"

Spent New Year's Eve
Just thinkin' of the summer
Hopin' that at midnight
You wouldn't be around
And they say children
Make the greatest soliders
They do just like they're told
And take up less space
On the ground

But I'm not fighting a war
And it seems to me
That we've been here before
Where were you
When I was at the airport?
Where were you
When I wanted to fly?
Tell me, where were you
When I was at the airport?
These planes fall from the sky

And we hung like spacstations and rocketships
And dreamed like we were beings of the sky
And we dressed like kings and queens and lovers and
We shouted out into the night "We're never gonna die"

I wish I had an airport
Someday
'Cause some days are just so hard
