Bells & Circles

Lyrics

If I had wings, I wouldn't do anything beautiful and transcendent
 No, I'd get my finger into everything I wanted
 I'd do all the beautiful things
 Those thing you can't do
 Because nobody wants you to be able
 To do the things that make you feel good
 Like you can't smoke on the aeroplane
 I remember smoking on the aeroplane
 I used to love the smoke on the airplane
 Those were the golden days of air travel
 They would just open the door at the airport
 And you'd walk right out the tarmac
 And up those stairs and light a big cigarette
 And stick it in the ashtray
 And the stewardess would come along
 And if she was hot, you can try to pick her up
 Once I was flying
 From New York to DC,
 I didn't have much time
 And the stewardess was smoking
 She was a dusky tall
 American beauty
 ♪
 And I put down my tray table, snorted a gram of cocain
 
 Till I got up my courage to say, "Can I have your phone number?"
 And she gave me the number, that was the good news
 The bad news was I got too stoned and I lost the number
 The stewardess would've been better than the cocaine
 I made an error in judgement
 But still I remember smoking on the aeroplane
 ♪
 Smoking on the aeroplane
 Smoking on the aeroplane, everybody did it
 They gather at the back on the way to Australia
 And all puff up at once outside the bathroom
 And that's why if I had wings
 That would be a bad idea, hahahahaha, I guess
 According to everything I've been taught about the laws of
 Ethics and karma and good behavior, hahahahaha
 If I had wings, I'd go, yum, yum, yum-yum, yum-yum, yum, ow!
 I'd have fun
 If I had wings, I'd have fun
 Smoking on the aeroplane
 Sunlight on my wings
 Sunlight on my wings
 Sunlight on my wings
 Sunlight on my wings
 Sunlight on my wings
 Sunlight on my wings
 (You can't do that)
 (You can't do that)
 (You can't do that)
 (You can't do that)
 Teenage boys used to hijack the aeroplane and send it to Cuba
 Castro would charge 20 grand,
 the airline would get your aeroplane back
 He had a good business
 (You can't do that, you can't do that)
 It's over
 (You can't do that, you can't do that)
 It's over for the liberal democracies
 (You can't do that)
 It's over
 (You can't do that)
 Here comes the jungle
 (You can't do that)
 
 Sunlight on my wings
 Sunlight on my wings
 Sunlight on my wings
 Sunlight on my wings
 (You can't do that)
 Sunlight on my wings
 (You can't do that)
 Sunlight on my wings
 (You can't do that)
 No more rock critics
 (You can't do that, you can't do that)
 No more (You can't do that)
 European ideas of (You can't do that)
 Good and bad (You can't do that)
 Only a vengeful (You can't do that)
 God does not allow smoking on the aeroplane
 (You can't do that, you can't do that)
 (You can't do that)
 There will be no revolution
 (You can't do that)
 And that's why
 (You can't do that)
 It won't be televised
 (You can't do that)
 Sunlight on my wings
 Sunlight on my wings
 Sunlight on my wings
 Sunlight on my wings
 Sunlight (You can't do that)
 Sunlight (You can't do that)
 Sunlight (You can't do that)
 Sunlight (You can't do that)
