    Verse 1
    They're 
    in 
    the front 
    seat, 

    he's 
    got 
    the radio 
    low 

    And 
    the moon 
    hangs 
    over 
    Idlewild 

    as the 
    planes 
    touch 
    down 

    He 
    is talk
    ing, 
    but she's 
    not 
    listen
    ing 

    She 
    is 
    thinking 
    of 
    her father, 

    who died 
    when 
    she 
    was 
    young 

    Verse 2

    And 
    I'm 
    in 
    the back 
    seat, 

    they think 
    I'm sleep
    ing 

    But I am 
    listening 
    for 
    the cracks 

    between 
    their 
    voices 
    in the dark 

    We 
    are 
    a fam
    ily, 
    we 
    are 
    a ship
    wreck 

    And 
    we're 
    picking 
    up my 
    grandma 

    who 
    is 
    getting 
    very 
    old 

    Verse 3
    And 
    they 
    think she's 
    dying 

    But 
    I 
    think she's 
    laughing 

    I think 
    she's 
    riding 
    Halley's 
    Comet 

    from 
    fort 
    Lauderdale 
    to here 

    But 
    when 
    I see 
    her 

    I'll 
    keep 
    her 
    secret 

    We 
    all have 
    our secrets 
    that 
    we 
    keep 
    inside 

    Interlude 1
    ourselves 



    Verse 4
    They built 
    this 
    air
    port, 

    but 
    in 
    a few 
    years 

    They'll 
    name 
    it 
    after 
    Kennedy, 

    the one 
    who 
    died 
    today 

    And 
    he will 
    leave 
    her, 

    and 
    she 
    will 
    suffer 

    And they 
    will 
    never 
    really 
    know 
    each 

    other 
    at 
    all 

    Verse 5
    They 
    think 
    we're driving 

    But 
    I know 
    we're 
    drifting 

    They think 
    we're 
    off 
    on 
    some 
    adventure 

    where 
    the her
    o 
    saves 
    the 
    day 

    We think 
    we're 
    spe
    cial 

    We think 
    we're 
    golden 

    We think 
    we're 
    walking 
    on 
    the moon 
    but we 
    are 

    dancing 
    in 
    the dark 

    Interlude 2


    Verse 6
    We shoot 
    our 
    rock
    ets, 

    we shoot 
    our 
    presidents 

    We 
    shoot 
    the 
    commies 
    and the 
    niggers 

    and the 
    Vietcong 

    Everything 
    changes, 

    everything 
    stays 
    the same 

    And 
    the moon 
    hangs 
    over 
    idlewild 
    as 
    the planes 
    touch 
    down

      Best Tuning App Ever

      MaddProfessor

      "

      I’ve downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

      Well-Designed App

      I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

      Got me back into playing

      I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

      Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!

      This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.
