Adam's Plane Lyrics - Hysterical - Clap Your Hands Say Yeah

When Adam's plane went down in Rome 

I thought I was the last to see him 

Standing all alone on the sidewalk 

Maybe I was too young to know 

Maybe I saw a bit of me in him 

And in the strange wind whipping all around us 

We began ordinary citizens 

Washed up and so what? 

Born late 

Too late 

God, it seems we've been stumbling a bit 

When Adam's plane went down in France 

I just covered up his body 

I'll admit I didn't know what I was doing 

Maybe I should have looked ahead 

Or lived only for the moment 

With a bit of red wine, 

he stumbled in to meet me 

Who am I to complain? 

Washed up and so what? 

Born late 

Too late 

God, it seems we've been stumbling a bit 

but Adam says, "I'm fine." 

When Adam's plane went down in Oklahoma 

I had nearly forgotten all about him 

There was no blood 

He had no holes cut through him 

Still I looked away 

Let me try to explain 

He's still alive and he's haunting me 

We may end caged animals 

God, it seems we've been stumbling a bit 

but Adam says, "I'm fine." 

In a way, we looked over our shoulders 

In a way, made it hard for ourselves 

In the sky is a bird that considers 

Where to fly and nobody else 

In a way, we were old to begin with 

In a way, made it hard for ourselves 

In the sky is a bird that considers 

Where to fly and nobody else
