All the people, all the noise

All the crazy girls and boys

Makes me want to fly away

Far away from here

Everybody moves too fast

The sudden pace will never last

Makes me want a holiday

It's time to disappear

 

Restless nights and broken days

Stumbling through a troubled haze

Makes me want to close my eyes

And dream of foreign lands

Slamming doors and senseless fights

Spinning stars and flashing lights

Makes me want to change my life

For walks along the sand

 

So put me on an airplane 

Fly me to Mexico

Long stay, Paris or Monaco 

Airplane, take me all over the world

So let me fly long-haul, over the ocean blue

Sunlight, making our dreams come true

Airplane, take me all over the world

 

Filled-up hours, no time to breathe

No chance to show what you believe

Makes me want to break these chains

Escape for just a while

Empty hearts and stagnant halls

Surrounded by these growing walls

Makes me want a change of scene

To give me back my smile

 

So put me on an airplane 

Fly me to Mexico

Long stay, Paris or Monaco 

Airplane, take me all over the world

So let me fly long-haul, over the ocean blue

Sunlight, making our dreams come true

Airplane, take me all over the world

 

Fly away 

Leave the past behind you, behind you

Fly away 

Let the future design you, design you

 

So put me on an airplane 

Fly me to Mexico

Long stay, Paris or Monaco 

Airplane, take me all over the world

So let me fly long-haul, over the ocean blue

Sunlight, making our dreams come true

Airplane, take me all over the world
