Destroyer - It's Gonna Take An Airplane Lyrics






It's gonna take an airplane
To get me off the ground.
I don't blame anyone who isn't sticking around,
Cause when you stick around (when you stick around!)
People like to put things in the ground.
Now, in my
Evil empire I
Am going to be a star in the night sky
Above. "So you think this is love?"
Yes, I guess so,
At least something to make it from...

Dressed like a dream dreamt by Lola magazine,
Baby you were born to be seen.
And art's just the start!
Now step inside the Widowmaker
And listen to your heart!
Always 'the play', never 'the thing'...

(Submarines don't mind spending their time in the ocean...)

[Repeat first verse]

    I saw Destroyer play this last night with the full Kaputt saxophone-and-trumpet band in London and it sounded huge and incredible - like All Along the Watchtower.
