Fanfarlo - I'm A Pilot lyrics

You can't trust that sand You're sleeping in all the time You'll see me on the screen Through all the other souls that I've bought with this oil Mexico says: good night! The tape machine is bust From all that spinning round and round I've scratched all my reels And bitten all my nails to the bone Like a stone, you'll come back when thrown up Away from the tar And away from the drills But kid I'm a pilot It's all I believe in It's all I believe in You can ride on my back With time on your hands You spent your mornings down by the tracks You had the drivers sign your arms My hospitals will welcome you home Like a tomb With godmothers aching to look at your grades And believe what you say But kid I'm a pilot It's all I believe in It's all I believe in You can ride on my back If I stay in this room They'll remember me for my youth If I stay in this room They'll remember me for my youth If I give it all up, If I give it all up, If I give it all up, But kid I'm a pilot It's all I believe in It's all I believe in It's all I believe in You can ride on my back
