My heart is big and open like the wind that blows this sand<br />
So I go to work I go to play I make my little stand<br />
And I'm hoping they'll arrest me now, before I get to far<br />
I've been speeding like a demon since I stole this wind-up car<br />
<br />
Like flying buddy hollys aeroplane<br />
And circling this earth<br />
And I'm trying to find the future<br />
But I don't know what it's worth<br />
<br />
Amid this birth I do conspire to build this tower up so high<br />
And I think you know that I was not the one to start this fire<br />
And so desire has often left me with a hand to shape my fate<br />
But I have never been one who would work for what I pay<br />
And your name is just a dream to me I see it in your face<br />
If I stare that way too long you know I'll have to stop and chase<br />
<br />
Like flying buddy hollys aeroplane<br />
And falling from the sky<br />
And I'm trying to find the future<br />
But I'm flying much to high<br />
<br />
Now I got grass stains on my knees from flying oh so far beneath<br />
All these trees or should I make beleive they're make believing me<br />
It seems I wrote these melodies like waking from a dream<br />
Words with many meanings always hiding what they seem to be<br />
<br />
Like flying buddy hollys aeroplane<br />
And running from the sun, <br />
Plummeting so fast that we<br />
Forgot what we've begun<br />
Like flying buddy hollys aeroplane<br />
I'll say it once again<br />
If I look just right I think I might<br />
Find a place to land<br />
Like flying buddy hollys aeroplane<br />
Circling this earth<br />
Trying to find the future<br />
But I don't know what it's worth
