Airport

Board an aeroplane

Metal birds on concrete floors

Change your name

In your Holiday fame

Return to the same

Like a Phoenix from the Ashes

The Ashes fall down again

Oh keep your broken arrows

Oh keep your spears yet sharp

Like the shooting sparrows

Like the darting carp

Keep your soldiers marching

They march the whole day long

Through the Marble Arch

Singing your victory song

Steel Robins singing

Feathered Fuselage

Keep your eggs a bobbing

Through the thorough fare

Fight or Flight in the space age

Diamonds sparkle in the night air

What I’ve left behind upon the ground

While I’m up in the air

What I’ve brought with me

What I’ve found

Since flying way up there

Music of the airport

Sweet Saccharin smooth tile

Buying our duty free report

Up high mile after mile

Cutting clouds like Paper-Mache

Newspapers writing foreign attaché

Of foreign wars and words

Oh keep sharp your swords

Keep damp the ink your pen

Hold tight, hold strong ye noble men

The sky is full of dreamers

The earth’s soul full of dirt

Let flare Ideals' streamers

Let wild geysers spurt
