Desert Flight

I feel my way

Down the okra coloured day

And I found a way

To say goodbye to you again

A hundred thousand miles

I don’t know why we don’t explode

With all that fuel leaking out

We can be the first

Tie a ribbon all ‘round the world

We’ll make it a gift to us

From the start with a wind-flapped officer’s scarf

Like a ghost in the wind

All I want is to make it so

You depend on what I need

Still at 70 miles an hour

Daylight fading into dusk

Milky temple of the night in memory of your sweet

delights

The cities that we fly by are like

Strangers waving from a train

Elevator trim the mirrors blink at every lighthouse

point

You’re asleep inside of me

You can see the things that I can see

This is everybody’s way and every day

We control ourselves as every night

Our hearts pound like devil drums

I don’t know how they don’t explode
