Test Pilot

Hope it isn't broken, try to keep it open

But I couldn't hold it, smashed it down for all to see

And I tried to get repairs done, I couldn't fix it

So I picked it up and smashed it down for all to see

But I remember when we were so cool

And you were the only one

And now I know that I was such a fool

Thinking you're the only one

(And now we are) We are high and we are fine

(And now we are) And we are gliding through the things that tear us apart

(And now we are) We are high and we are fine

(And now we are) And we are going to need the strength it takes to pave the way and be the first test pilot

Now we're stumbling through the motions, criminal and careless

Thought you were my best friend, now I couldn't care less, come to see

And you're playing my emotions, way out of proportion

Damage and distortion, blasting through your fantasy

Oh, but I was such a fool

Thinking you're the only one

It didn't have to be so cruel

Thinking you're the only one

I know that we get down

But we can't touch the ground

Look up, fall into sky

Going at the speed of sound

One circle back around

Straight on, test pilot, fly

R: (x2)
