Lyrics for Big Fat Silver Aeroplane
Big fat silver aeroplane is shufflin' through the sky Full of big fat people it's a wonder you can fly I don't like you And you wanna know the reason why It's because I don't Eternal East-West hedge walker turn the Sunday joint... Laughing gas is more than mete for any pointless point... Spliff me plenty And you wanna know the reason why Well turn again Whittington... Shiny demon firework-eater tell me what you see I see a Siamese twin universe a'growing out of me... I believe you And you wanna know the reason why It's because you're right Pop-eyed rabbit medal sucker, whirlwind living drowned. Sinkin' in the splinters of the ecstasy of sound You'll be blind soon And you wanna know the reason why It's because your head'll fall off Cuckoo-headed journeyman inside your rubber Zen The i-Ching in your buttonhole was painted with a pen... The fire is cold now And you wanna know the reason why It's because I watered it Polystyrene obelisk your man is on the ground His tinsel gaze is blazing an illusion he's not found But he's not dead yet And you wanna know the reason why It's because he's breathing He's breathing
