"Back to the Airplanes" by 15-16 puzzle

I've been searching for something I never could find:
Looked for it everywhere I flew.
I've gone and spent a night on every continent
And I feel like there must be bigger things to do.

When I look to the planets, they're calling my name;
The stars wink like they always do.
I'd like a taste of flying up in outer space
Before they sew up all the loopholes I'd fit through.

I held you close
To say goodbye,
I counted backwards 'til you vanished from the sky.
And I went all the way to China
Just to stand by that great wall:
Could you hear what I was saying?
Was I making sense at all?

Let's go back to the airplanes, she said with a smile,
Without a hint of irony.
For what it's worth, I rather have you here on Earth
Than have a hero in the skies that I can't see.

Let's go back to the airplanes, she said with a laugh,
Deep down, I know that you'll agree.
For what it's worth, I'd let you fly around the Earth
If every night you'd fly back home to be with me...
Yeah, every night you'd fly back home to be with me...
Yeah, every night you'd fly back home to be with me...
Yeah, every night you'd fly back home to be with me.
Oh, baby, fly home to be with me.

Back To The Planes
------------------
OCTOTHORPE

Lost my ticket.
Ate my hand.

Stewardess,
smacks me man.

Kicked off.
Back to the counter.

Reissued the coupon.
Back I saunter.

[Begin Chorus]
Gosh golly gee.
I am set free.

Out of captivity.
Not a single cavity.

Gestures of great magnitude.
Earns my gratitude.

No longer hit with canes.
Now back to the planes.
[End Chorus]

Flyin up and over.
Nicaraugra.

Government fighers.
Signal us down.

Forced to land.
Led to prison.

Sittin in the dirt.
Gnawing on pants.

[Chorus]

Several years later.
My pants are chewed.

Marines find out.
In they zoom.

Lead out of the cell.
Through the jungle.

Humatarian aid.
Got new pants.
