The Ballad of Lily / Airheart

Steam Powered Giraffe


Some girls say all they need is dreaming
But some girls say they ain't got time
But for those who dream
Well they just keep dreaming
We've got to chase the dream to be happy
Do you wanna sail into the sky?
Soar across the stars?

Well, I knew a girl, and her name was lily
But her daddy called her something rather silly
He called her by a name which matched her art
Come on and fly with me, fly with me
My little airheart
Her father fought in the great war
In an aeroplane named bree
He gave his love to a pretty girl

And said, "baby you're the one for me"
And though her name was bree
He still found it all a shock
When he found out she was an airplane
The stork began to knock
A baby girl was born
With air rudders on her back
She picked up airwave frequencies
And petrol was her favorite snack
Whale she bubbled noises like an airplane
Every time she sang
And her heart it loved so hungrily
And roared like a mustang

That's why they called her
Airheart
Airheart
That girl was meant to fly
So prep the runway
Airheart
Airheart
That girl will soar away

She was an angel in her blue dress
When little jimmy wright took her to prom
The young pilot said he loved her
And oil began to clam her palm
Whale he was lost in the sky
And they said he had died
But I know something more
They only found jimmy's goggles
In his plane upon the floor

Well years went by
And she still looked to the sky
Her feelings did not disperse
She could fly any plane just like an ace
And kept goggles in her purse
And she swore she still heard jimmy singing
"That'll be the way home"
It would haunt her from her radio
In each sky that she would roam
Jimmy's voice echoed

Airheart
Airheart
I'm sorry that I flew away
But just remember
Airheart
Airheart
Keep flapping and you'll soar one day

Lets fly!
Do you wanna sail into the sky?
Soar across the stars?
Sail into the sky?
Soar across the stars?
Sail into the sky?
Soar across the stars?
The stars?
The stars?
The stars!

Then one fateful day
Ended with a storm streaked sky
Her plane crashed into the mountain side
Was she flying much too high?
They only found jimmy's goggles
In her plane upon the floor
I hope she's up there somewhere with him
Kissing on a cloudy shore
The birds were singing

Airheart
Airheart
That girl was meant to fly
So prep the runway
Airheart
Airheart
That girl will soar one day

Air-air ha ah art
Air-air ha ah art
Air-air ha ah art
Air-air ha ah art
Air-air ha ah art
Air-air ha ah art
Air-air ha ah art
Airheart!
