Clap Your Hands Say Yeah - Adam's Plane Lyrics
When Adam's plane went down in RomeI thought I was the last to see himStanding all alone on the sidewalkMaybe I was too young to knowMaybe I saw a bit of me in himAnd in the strange wind whipping all around usWe began ordinary citizensWashed up and so what?Born lateToo lateGod, it seems we've been stumbling a bitWhen Adam's plane went down in FranceI just covered up his bodyI'll admit I didn't know what I was doingMaybe I should have looked aheadOr lived only for the momentWith a bit of red wine, He stumbled in to meet meWho am I to complain?Washed up and so what?Born lateToo lateGod, it seems we've been stumbling a bitBut Adam says, "I'm fine."When Adam's plane went down in OklahomaI had nearly forgotten all about himThere was no bloodHe had no holes cut through himStill I looked awayLet me try to explainHe's still alive and he's haunting meWe may end caged animalsGod, it seems we've been stumbling a bitBut Adam says, "I'm fine."In a way, we looked over our shouldersIn a way, made it hard for ourselvesIn the sky is a bird that considersWhere to fly and nobody elseIn a way, we were old to begin withIn a way, made it hard for ourselvesIn the sky is a bird that considersWhere to fly and nobody else
