Divebomber

Sat by the window, widow sat

And dreamed of planes in silhouette

in cloud formations overhead

Oh, you better get there when it matters

when she’s taking off, you will really need to hold on tight

pretty soon the connection is made

we’re ascending higher and higher each day

and there’s no turning back

sun is overhead, target’s down below

it’s gonna be a wreck, alright

It’s a risk if you’re flying fast enough

with the rush of blood, you can bet you’ll forget anyone

she understands where you’re taking her

and she won’t break up under the strain

the engine sighs it’s time, we must pull her out

I have this to say to you, I’ll do my best to save you

but I’m hoping I don’t black out

cos there’s only one way down

then I wake up in a sweat

landing safely in bed

oh man I thought we were dead

punch me gently out of shape now darling

it cannot be that bad

for all I know we’re high above the ground

and there’s only one way down
