They told me where to go

(And I always follow)

They told me what to do

(I swallowed every drop down)

They told me bedtime stories

(of how I'd rise above)

They told me they were true

I sat and thought about her

On the train ride out

Until my stomach turned

Like it's done for years now

I thought about her hips and thighs

With the red in my eyes

I felt my body burn

Burn, yeah

Aeroplane, aeroplane

Don't leave without me

'Cause I'm out here all by myself

And I got no place to sleep

Aeroplane, aeroplane

Don't leave without me

'Cause I'm out here all by myself and I

Ain't got no place to sleep

And you told me that you loved me

(I swallowed every drop down)

And you told me how it felt

Like being gagged and bound

And you told me you were leaving

On the last train out

And you told me, "Go to hell"

Well, let me tell you, beautiful

I've been there

Believe me when I say I'm not afraid

Of destruction, sorrow, fear or regret.

I heard the devil call me by my name

I heard the devil call me by my name

Hey, yeah

Aeroplane, aeroplane

Don't leave without me

'Cause I'm out here all by myself

And I got no place to sleep

Aeroplane, aeroplane

Don't leave without me

'Cause I'm out here all by myself and I

Ain't got no place to sleep.

Aeroplane, aeroplane

Don't leave without me

'Cause I'm out here all by myself

And I got no place to sleep

Aeroplane, aeroplane

Don't leave without me

'Cause I'm out here

All by myself tonight

And I got no place to sleep

Yeah, I'm out here all by myself tonight

Got no place to sleep

No, no, no, no

Got no place to sleep

No, no, no, no

Believe me when I say I'm not afraid

I heard the devil call me by my name

Believe me when I say I'm not afraid

I heard the devil call me by my name
