There was a light, but it grew dark

Such a sorry sight to see it won't even spark

And there was a flight, but it stayed parked

And never left the tarmac, you see

It stayed safe and sound in the port

Another plane of existence is delayed, and I missed it

Another day I sit in silence

I'm trapped at home with endless mileage

And there was a match, it knew it can't win

So it striked itself out to be free

And choked on the oxygen

And thеre was a pilot who knew he was donе

Soared through the air and the sea

Never heard from again by anyone

Another plane of existence is delayed, and I missed it

Another day I sit in silence

I'm trapped at home with endless mileage

So I sing along, la, la, la, la, la

To the hum of the furnace

It's playing my song

But it just won't kick on, it won't ignite

It must be nice to have a working pilot light

Pilot light

And there was a bulb, but it burnt out

The gears froze up, and it got cold

It couldn't save itself

And then there's me, I sleep so light, I think

I told all my secrets to my shrink

And the whispers to the lampshade before I pull the string

So I sing along, la, la, la, la, la

To the hum of the furnace

It's playing my song

But it just won't kick on, it won't ignite

It must be nice to have a working pilot light

Pilot light

Pilot light

Pilot light
