Wingwalker Lyrics

Time was I could move my arms like a bird and...
Fly!

She was a wingwalker
It-girl of the sky

Now I got an engine,
Big perverted engine
(It) runs on strength of will.
Who could deny me the right to fly?

Know it's my art:
When I form my body in the shape of a plane
I'm a plane!
I'm a plane!
I'm a plane!
I'm a plane!

Now I got an airframe,
Big perverted airframe!
Know it's my art to disguise my body in the shape of a plane.

I'm a plane (I'm a plane)!
I'm a plane (I'm a plane)!
I'm a plane (I'm a plane)!
I'm a plane (I'm a plane)!

Look at me, look at me, I'm a plane, look at me, I'm a plane, look at me.

And the plane becomes a metaphor for my life, and as I suffer for it, well I had it said, that as it stands, so she suffers under the weight of my plane, you know it's my art, when I disguise my body in the shape of a plane.

Plane!

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

This song reminds me of being a child and disguising my body into the shape of a plane,as we all have and the particular angst associated with I suppose
