Amelia - Bell X1

I’d say life’s a different story when you’re facing certain death

I wonder did they kick back when they knew the game was up

Static on the radio ain’t no soundtrack for this end

Stick on a bit of agner and we’ll go down

Let see if we skim

Maybe there’s no time, for grand exits and pause

Twistin our propellers, dropping at the froth

And as she turned to Fred she saw the fear in his eyes

And whatever was between them, was heavy in the last word he said

Amelia

Or maybe they went on to grow oranges and pears

On their own island, Amelia and Fred

She’d dance for him in the evenings as the red sun fell

He’d sit there smiling up at her thinking this is just swell

Take me

Some say she resurfaced as a Tokyo rose

Talking on the radio, telling sweet lies

But remember when the farmer asked have you flown far

She just smiled back at him and said

'I've come, from America'

Amelia

Time has cast it’s shadow, the story lost it’s legs

Our favorite missing person, still rears her head

Not on the milk cartons, just some bones on a beach

That just might be a tall white girl called Amelia

Just might be a tall white girl called Amelia

Oh Amelia

It’s just like flying X4
