[00:23.66]Into the distance, a ribbon of black
[00:29.06]Stretched to the point of no turning back
[00:34.85]A flight of fancy on a windswept field
[00:40.24]Standing alone my senses reeled
[00:46.22]A fatal attraction holding me fast, how
[00:51.45]Can I escape this irresistible grasp?
[00:57.81]Can't keep my eyes from the circling skies
[01:03.22]Tongue-tied and twisted Just an earth-bound misfit, I
[01:21.13]Ice is forming on the tips of my wings
[01:26.45]Unheeded warnings, I thought I thought of everything
[01:32.13]No navigator to found my way home
[01:37.93]Unladened, empty and turned to stone
[01:43.85]A soul in tension that's learning to fly
[01:49.24]Condition grounded but determined to try
[01:55.04]Can't keep my eyes from the circling skies
[02:00.68]Tongue-tied and twisted just an earth-bound misfit, I

[02:41.97](to tower): Confirm 3-8-Echo ready for departure
[02:44.52](tower): Hello again, this is now 129.4
[02:46.27](to tower): 129.4. It's to go.
[02:49.06](tower): You may commence your takeoff, winds over 10 knots.
[02:52.11](to tower): 3-8-Echo
[02:54.61]Easy on the brakes. Take it easy. Its gonna roll this time.
[02:58.55]Just hand the power gradually, and it...
[03:04.75]Above the planet on a wing and a prayer,
[03:10.18]My grubby halo, a vapour trail in the empty air,
[03:15.98]Across the clouds I see my shadow fly
[03:21.72]Out of the corner of my watering eye
[03:27.46]A dream unthreatened by the morning light
[03:33.12]Could blow this soul right through the roof of the night
[03:38.96]There's no sensation to compare with this
[03:44.24]Suspended animation, A state of bliss
[03:50.38]Can't keep my mind from the circling skies
[03:55.85]Tongue-tied and twisted just an earth-bound misfit, I
