Airline To Heaven Lyrics - Billy Bragg

There's an airline plane 

Flies to heaven everyday 

Past the pearly gates 

If you want to ride this train 

Have your ticket in your hand 

Before it is too late 

If the world looks wrong 

And your money's spent and gone 

And your friend has turned away 

You can get away to heaven 

On this aeroplane 

Just bow your head and pray 

Them's got ears, let them hear 

Them's got eyes, let them see 

Turn your eyes to the lord of the skies 

Take this airline plane 

It'll take you home again 

To your home behind the skies 

Well a lot of people guess 

Some say no and some say yes 

Will it take some and leave some behind? 

But you will surely know 

When to the airport go 

To leave this world behind 

Oh a lot of speakers speak 

A lot of preachers preach 

When you lay their salary on the line 

You hold your head and pray 

It's the only earthly way 

You can fly to heaven on time 

Fly to heaven on time 

Them's got ears, let them hear 

Them's got eyes, let them see 

Turn your eyes to the lord of the skies 

Take that airline plane 

It'll take you home again 

To your home behind the skies 

Your ticket you obtain 

On this heavenly airline plane 

You leave your sins behind 

You've got to take this flight 

It may be daytime, might be night 

But you can't see your way if you're blind 

Them's got ears, let them hear 

Them's got eyes, let them see 

Turn your eyes to the lord of the skies 

Take that airline plane 

It'll take you home again 

To your home behind the skies
