JETLINER

Shiny - Ailerons

Vertical tail - So regal

Nothing like - That kerosene smell

Wings spread - Like a silver eagle

Your engines they sing

A tune - only a few of us can understand

My daddy used to work - at SeaTac

In the 1970s - I miss that

The wonderment I felt - as a young kid

For the Jetliner - will never leave me

(chorus)

Jetliner - I will always love you

Always the old - even the new

My love for you will never die

With your blades spinning - keep flying high

______

My mom used to clean them

My dad directed and packed them

Vertical tail - tall as the sky

To a young boy - who loved to fly

Now they are used - to crash into buildings

(maybe not how you've been told by your government)

It's a shame - you are now used to poison us

Through geo-engineering

Not so endearing

The airlines are not what they once were

Although it was always about the money I guess

Herding people like cattle now

For the almighty dollar (or whatever currency)

Practically raped - at security checkpoints

Another reminder

That our freedom is almost gone

(chorus)

We used to dress up - to get on an aeroplane

It was an event - Not a flying bus

Like today

The rush of takeoff - it can't be beat

I must have a window seat

Engine sound - better than sex

Jet fuel - metal - and plastic

I drew them as a kid - teenager and adult

I miss United's tulip - TWA

American's double AAs

Western's red W

And Delta's red and blue triangle

I wanted to be a flight attendent

But an over baring ex wouldn't have it

Now I'm too old - Now it's too late

(chorus)

Aircraft - Airplane

I will always have love for the Jetliner

Until I die and fly higher
