Captain (Million Miles an Hour)

I built an aeroplane

It was just like the real ones that I saw when I was younger

But it was too small for me

To crawl inside the cockpit and fly away

At a million miles an hour (x4)

And it took me years

Underneath the house we lived in

I threw my head and my heart in the cockpit

The sounds of the engines

The voices from upstairs I only heard my crew

Preparing me for take off (x4)

Preparing me (x2)

And it's just a model

Built with plastic and with glue

But every day I go down to the airport

And I fly away from

I fly away from you (x2)
