Time was, I could move my arms like a bird
Fly!
She was a wingwalker
Pitgirl of the sky
[Verse]
And now I got an engine
A big perverted engine
It runs on strength of will
Who could deny me the right to fly?
You know, it's my art
When I form my body in the shape of a plane...
[Chorus]
I'm a plane!
I'm a plane!
I'm a plane!
I'm a plane!
[Verse]
Now I got an airframe
A big perverted airframe
You know, It's my art
When I disguise my body in the shape of a plane
[Chorus]
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!)
[Outro]
(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
Like I'm insane, as it says...
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! (Plane!)

Steve Albini told The Quietus,
We play ‘Wingwalker’ more often than we don’t play it, that’s for sure. It’s part of a group of songs that are in a different tuning so once we go into that tuning we have a limited menu of songs that we can play without having to return to conventional tuning. Typica...
