Lyrics
[Chorus]
I like pleasure spiked with pain and music is my aeroplane
It's my aeroplane
Songbird sweet and sour Jane and music is my aeroplane
It's my aeroplane
Pleasure spiked with pain
That motherfucker's always spiked with pain
[Verse 1]
Looking in my own eyes, hello
I can't find the love I want
Someone better slap me
Before I start to rust
Before I start to decompose
Looking in my rear view mirror
Looking in my rear view mirror
I can make it disappear
I can make it disappear, have no fear
[Chorus]
I like pleasure spiked with pain and music is my aeroplane
It's my aeroplane
Songbird sweet and sour Jane and music is my aeroplane
It's my aeroplane
Pleasure spiked with pain
That motherfucker's always spiked with pain
[Verse 2]
Sitting in my kitchen, hey, girl
I'm turning into dust again
My melancholy baby
The star of mazzy must
Push her voice inside of me
I'm overcoming gravity
I'm overcoming gravity
It's easy when you're sad to be
It's easy when you're sad, sad like me
[Chorus]
I like pleasure spiked with pain and music is my aeroplane
It's my aeroplane
Songbird sweet and sour Jane and music is my aeroplane
It's my aeroplane
Pleasure spiked with pain
[Bridge]
Just one note could make me float
Could make me float away
One note from the song she wrote
Could fuck me where I lay
Just one note could make me choke
One note that's not a lie
Just one note could cut my throat
One note could make me die
[Chorus]
I like pleasure spiked with pain and music is my aeroplane
It's my aeroplane
Songbird sweet and sour Jane and music is my aeroplane
It's my aeroplane
Pleasure spiked with pain
