Lyrics
0:24Into the distance a ribbon of black
0:27Stretched to the point of no turning back
0:33A flight of fancy on a windswept field
0:39Standing alone my senses reeled
0:44A fatal attraction holding me fast how
0:50Can I escape this irresistible grasp
0:55Can't keep my eyes from the circling skies
1:01Tongue tied and twisted Just an earth bound misfit I
1:08Ice is forming on the tips of my wings
1:24Unheeded warnings I thought I thought of everything
1:30No navigator to guide my way home
1:35Unladened empty and turned to stone
1:41A soul in tension that's learning to fly
1:46Condition grounded but determined to try
1:52Can't keep my eyes from the circling skies
1:57Tongue-tied and twisted just an earth-bound misfit I
2:05Friction lock - set
2:09Mixture - rich
2:11Propellers - fully forward
2:13Flaps - set - 10 degrees
2:17Engine gauges and suction - check
2:21Mixture set to maximum percent - recheck
2:22Flight instruments
2:23Altimeters - check both
2:25(garbled word) - on
2:31Navigation lights - on
2:32Strobes - on
2:33(to tower): Confirm 3-8-Echo ready for departure
2:35(tower): Hello again this is now 129 4
2:37(to tower): 129 4 It's to go
2:39(tower): You may commence your takeoff winds over 10 knots
2:43(to tower): 3-8-Echo
2:44Easy on the brakes Take it easy Its gonna roll this time
3:17Just hand the power gradually and it
3:17Above the planet on a wing and a prayer
3:20My grubby halo a vapour trail in the empty air
3:23Across the clouds I see my shadow fly
3:26Out of the corner of my watering eye
3:29A dream unthreatened by the morning light
3:31Could blow this soul right through the roof of the night
3:35There's no sensation to compare with this
3:39Suspended animation A state of bliss
3:45Can't keep my eyes from the circling skies
3:50Tongue-tied and twisted just an earth-bound misfit I
Into the distance a ribbon of black Stretched to the point of no turning back A flight of fancy on a windswept field Standing alone my senses reeled A fatal attraction holding me fast how Can I escape this irresistible grasp Can't keep my eyes from the circling skies Tongue tied and twisted Just an earth bound misfit I Ice is forming on the tips of my wings Unheeded warnings I thought I thought of everything No navigator to guide my way home Unladened empty and turned to stone A soul in tension that's learning to fly Condition grounded but determined to try Can't keep my eyes from the circling skies Tongue-tied and twisted just an earth-bound misfit I Friction lock - set Mixture - rich Propellers - fully forward Flaps - set - 10 degrees Engine gauges and suction - check Mixture set to maximum percent - recheck Flight instruments Altimeters - check both (garbled word) - on Navigation lights - on Strobes - on (to tower): Confirm 3-8-Echo ready for departure (tower): Hello again this is now 129 4 (to tower): 129 4 It's to go (tower): You may commence your takeoff winds over 10 knots (to tower): 3-8-Echo Easy on the brakes Take it easy Its gonna roll this time Just hand the power gradually and it Above the planet on a wing and a prayer My grubby halo a vapour trail in the empty air Across the clouds I see my shadow fly Out of the corner of my watering eye A dream unthreatened by the morning light Could blow this soul right through the roof of the night There's no sensation to compare with this Suspended animation A state of bliss Can't keep my eyes from the circling skies Tongue-tied and twisted just an earth-bound misfit I
