An Aeroplane (Has Never Seen It)
Somewhere out there
In the middle of the ocean
I’m sure that there’s a city made of gold
And and it dives and rises
According to the tides
It always stays afloat no matter how wicked the storm
And an aeroplane has never seen it
Submarine would always miss it
The C.I.A. is trying to forget it
and if you want it, if you want it you can have it (you can have it)
A dry old hideout
Constructed in the desert
No one knows by who except the ones that live there still
And they transmit their cosmic message to the masses
They don’t have a secret
Just cause no one cared to ask
( Alt: Put up your antenna if you want to tune on in)
And an aeroplane won’t get you there
Dirigibles are full of hot air
Army jeeps are hard to steer
Asking questions, you’re gettin’ nearer
(you get nearer)
In the deepest and darkest
Jungles in the forest
Livin’ in the trees
Underneath the canopies
All the people are brothers
And they lovin’ one another
They don’t have a secret
Just cause no one cared to ask
And an aeroplane is surely useless
Computer systems leave you clueless
The telephone system won’t get you through this
Without your mind, without your mind you’d be soulless
( Alt: without your brain your mind is, without your brain your mind is soulless)
Don’t be soulless. Don’t be soulless. Don’t be soulless.
Somewhere out there
in the middle of the ocean
I’m sure that there’s a city made of gold
And and it dives and rises
According to the tides
But always stays afloat
No matter how wicked the storm
And an aeroplane has never seen it
Submarine would always miss it
The C.I.A. is trying to forget it
And if you want it, if you want it you can have it

Lost fans: listen to this song! There’s so many parallels, it’s kind of eerie. I love the lyric where Trevor sings “Don’t be soulless…”
