Godzilla Lyrics
There’s a place I’d love to go,
Strangers they can meet there,
Dream about the day I lernt to fly.
I’m afraid of airaplains,
Even though I like their wings,
Fears to be a person in the sky.
It’s alright.
And it’s good this time.
I look out and on the ground,
Really don’t believe it,
Gravity can pull me from this hight.
One day we’ll come crashing down,
What will I do,
Never had a chance to say goodbye.
Close my eyes and hope that it’s a real smooth flight
this time.
Close my eyes and hope that it’s a real smooth flight,
And it’s good this time.
I looked down out on the ground,
I looked down out on the ground,
I looked down out on the ground,
I look out we’re going down.
