Makeshift Aircraft Songtext
von Jason Reeves

Gravity is just another downward force
Pulling everything but me today
I can see the people smile
Deep inside you really know they′re feeling great
The flood is coming, put the children all into the boats
Float 'em far away
′Cause they won't miss their mommies
And they never really knew their daddies anyways

'Cause this mean world ate itself alive
And spit its bones to water
Causing the rising of the tides and rain falling

So I′m cold and wet
Everyone is drowning down below
And I can hear the people screaming for their lives
The world is underwater but the children are fine
And I think they′re gonna start it again
And do it right


There's nothing but the sound of laughing
Nothing but the sound of gentle breeze
Boats are scattered all through the horizon
And the only thing I see is peace today
I′m sitting on a La-Z-Boy recliner
And I tie to an old lawnmower's blade
I′m just flying in my makeshift aircraft
Watching all the madness fade away

'Cause this mean world ate itself alive
And spit its bones to water
Causing the rising of the tides and the rain falling
The scientists are trying to make pills for those alive
But it was time for me to fly

So I′m cold and wet
Everyone is drowning down below
And I can hear the people screaming for their lives
The world is underwater but the children are fine
And I think they're gonna start it again
And do it right

Time will run out of clocks
And the doors will be unlocked
And the air will echo with its sound
The world will get along
And there will be no more bombs
And I'll put my feet back on dry ground

′Cause gravity is just another downward force
Allowing nobody but me to fly


So I′m cold and wet
Everyone is drowning down below
And I can hear the people screaming for their lives
The world is underwater but the children are fine
And I think they're gonna start it again
And I think they′re gonna start it again
And do it right
