[00:15.64] Intent, a wooden lattice is placed
[00:20.07] feathers are waxed and laced
[00:22.98] reeds are stockpiled, patiently cast
[00:26.68] and curved, each longer than the last
[00:30.31] it is a perfect design, a boldfaced
[00:34.13] attempt to fly
[00:37.06]
[00:41.12] Back off the boardwalk, at the Midtown
[00:45.17] dressed in chiffon, dressed in her best gown
[00:48.85] an angel black as the color of her hair
[00:52.47] begins to sing and play and dare
[00:56.02] to form a perfect design, a boldfaced
[00:59.94] attempt to fly
[01:03.44]
[01:07.32] falling out of the middle
[01:09.76] the air begins to thin
[01:12.85] from light into darkness
[01:14.89] into the light again
[01:16.26] gravity conspiring
[01:16.83] with the forces of drag
[01:18.58] so nose up and farewell
[01:21.01] to those who lag
[01:22.51] and who didn’t blow the whistle
[01:25.89] took calculated risks
[01:29.34] who didn’t push the river
[01:30.72] who didn’t use their fists
[01:31.66] who didn’t go to great lengths
[01:31.72] nor to great heights
[01:32.97] you’re up in the air now
[01:37.06] Divine
[01:40.01]
[02:47.31] falling out of the middle
[02:49.63] the air begins to thin
[02:51.51] from light into darkness
[02:52.94] into the light again
[02:55.06] gravity conspiring
[02:55.63] with the forces of drag
[02:56.81] so nose up and farewell
[02:58.26] to those who lag
[02:59.63] and who didn’t blow the whistle
[03:02.20] took calculated risks
[03:03.89] who didn’t push the river
[03:05.76] who didn’t use their fists
[03:07.96] who didn’t go to great lengths
[03:11.10] nor to great heights
[03:12.53] you’re up in the air now
[03:16.49]
[03:17.43] Moonshine drunk, you’re smug as the Sun
[03:20.93] larger than life, baby you’re the one
[03:24.30] with wings, rising over the wall
[03:27.86] falling out of the middle, away from us all
[03:51.41]
[05:03.74] 'til to end
[00:15.64] Intent, a wooden lattice is placed
[00:20.07] feathers are waxed and laced
