Tim Rogers & The Twin Set — Under The Flight Path lyrics

Lyrics

I live under the flight path and it don’t get me down
It’s just a regular interruption on the western side of town
They send Boeings from Tacoma near on 50 times a day
But they sure can help me out when I’ve got nothing left to say
I turn off and watch them come all day
Someone’s daddy’s gone away
Calling out from the flashing light
Someone’s baby’s home tonight
I wear an earpiece to hear TV, 'cause I miss all the good lines now
When a KLM airliner comes in from Copenhagen town
I sit under the clothesline and I watch their stomachs white
Like a body surfing city kid, the trail they leave behind
I turn off and watch them come all day
Someone’s daddy’s gone away
Calling out from the flashing light
Someone’s baby’s home tonight
I can often watch it dissipate as if it never was
And I almost could believe it, except for that black shit on my lawn
I live under the flight path
They’re the birds of the inner-west
I’d sure miss them if they weren’t around
But do those fuckers ever rest?
Aw, c’mon
