I'm a Pilot - Fanfarlo

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
