The Aeroplane Flies High (Turns Left, Looks Right)
"A brief snippet of this tune, which was originally entitles 'Disconnected,' is found in the 'Pastichio Medley.' This is a Mellon Collie riff that I could never seem to find a place for. [Producer] Flood didn't like this one much ("too heavy metal"-a common complaint), and I never finished it until right before it was recorded. Essentially a new song with an old riff, with spoken word bits courtesy of my friend. The solo, funnily enough, was quickly thrown down because I had to go to a funeral. It was supposed to be a reference for where to pick up when I came back. But when I returned, I was surprised by how much I liked it." -BC (Guitar World 1/97)
i really don't wanna look stupid when i'm Sleeping
i never really liked sunny days
the black wings just reach out to me over a distance
and i can feel the wind from the waves
i see the clouds and i feel the ocean with my feet
and i'm home again
it requires an ability to judge distance
the aeroplane flies high, turns left looks right
love is a sentimental heart
life is a sentimental way
spy the fragile heart so cursed
as he walks across this earth
i'm disconnected by your smile
disconnect a million miles
and what you promised me
i hope will set you free
i'm disconnected by your smile
if i knew where i was going i would already be there
ha ha ha ha
i wish i had more time, but...
judicious, beautiful, augmented, whatever
i've always been afraid to die but i think i'm more afraid to live
and all i gave to you is lost
and all you took from me is lost
black wings carry me so high
up to meet you in the sky
i'm disconnected by your smile
disconnect a million miles
and what you promised me
i hope will set you free
i'm disconnected by your smile
wishing you were real to me
wishing i could make believe
i'll take my secrets to the grave
safely held beneath the waves
always knew i couldn't save
always knew i couldn't save you
and in my heart i know you're there
and in my heart i know you care
and in my heart i know you're gone
