Steam Powered Giraffe - Airheart lyrics

Her father fought in the great war In an aeroplane named Bree He gave his love to a pretty girl And said, "Baby you're the one for me" And though her name was Bree, He still found it all a shock When he found out she was an airplane, The stork began to knock A baby girl was born With air rudders on her back She picked up airwave frequencies And petrol was her favorite snack Whale she bubbled noises like an airplane Every time she sang And her heart it loved so hungrily, And roared like a Mustang That's why they called her Airheart Airheart That girl was meant to fly So prep the runway Airheart Airheart That girl will soar away She was an angel in her blue dress When Little Jimmy Wright took her to prom The young pilot said he loved her, And oil began to clam her palm Whale he was lost in the sky And they said he had died, But I know something more They only found Jimmy's goggles, In his plane upon the floor Well years went by And she still looked to the sky, Her feelings did not disperse She could fly any plane just like an ace And kept goggles in her purse And she swore she still heard Jimmy singing, "That'll Be the Way Home" It would haunt her from her radio In each sky that she would roam Jimmy's voice echoed Airheart Airheart I'm sorry that I flew away But just remember Airheart Airheart Keep flapping and you'll soar one day Lets Fly! Do you wanna sail into the sky? Soar across the stars? Sail into the sky? Soar across the stars? Sail into the sky? Soar across the stars? The stars? The stars?! The stars! Then one fateful day Ended with a storm streaked sky Her plane crashed into the mountain side, Was she flying much too high? They only found Jimmy's goggles In her plane upon the floor I hope she's up there somewhere with him Kissing on a cloudy shore The birds were singing Airheart Airheart That girl was meant to fly So prep the runway Airheart Airheart That girl will soar one day Air-air ha ah art Air-air ha ah art Air-air ha ah art Air-air ha ah art Air-air ha ah art Air-air ha ah art Air-air ha ah art Airheart!
