[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
