Learning to Fly
Pink Floyd
Into the distance, a ribbon of black Stretched to the point of no turning back A flight of fancy on a windswept field Standing alone my senses reeled A fatal attraction holding me fast, how Can I escape this irresistible grasp? Can't keep my eyes from the circling skies Tongue-tied and twisted Just an earth-bound misfit, I Ice is forming on the tips of my wings Unheeded warnings, I thought I thought of everything No navigator to guide my way home Unladened, empty and turned to stone A soul in tension that's learning to fly Condition grounded but determined to try Can't keep my eyes from the circling skies Tongue-tied and twisted just an earth-bound misfit, I Friction lock - set. Mixture - rich Propellers - fully forward Flaps - set - 10 degrees Engine gauges and suction - check Mixture set to maximum percent - recheck Flight instruments... Altimeters - check both (garbled word) - on Navigation lights - on Strobes - on (to tower): Confirm 3-8-Echo ready for departure (tower): Hello again, this is now 129.4 (to tower): 129.4. It's to go. (tower): You may commence your takeoff, winds over 10 knots. (to tower): 3-8-Echo Easy on the brakes. Take it easy. Its gonna roll this time. Just hand the power gradually, and it... Above the planet on a wing and a prayer, My grubby halo, a vapour trail in the empty air, Across the clouds I see my shadow fly Out of the corner of my watering eye A dream unthreatened by the morning light Could blow this soul right through the roof of the night There's no sensation to compare with this Suspended animation, A state of bliss Can't keep my eyes from the circling skies Tongue-tied and twisted just an earth-bound misfit, I1987 5 minute song 60s 70s 80s 90s alternative AM Gold ambient art rock art-rock atmospheric Atmospheric Progressive rock atmospheric rock Awesome beautiful best mouth in rock bob ezrin production brit rock british chill chillout classic classic rock crash ost curtis119 david gilmour Dreamy eclectic rock electronic english ethereal experimental favorites favourite pink floyd songs favourite tracks Favourites female vocalists feminist folk Floyd floydianism flying fun Funked Up good great riff great solo great song great words Groups guilty pleasure guitar hard rock hi fidelity imagery indie just add red wine keyboard live Love lovely malloy2000 playlist - top song mariella rocks Mellow most excellent Motivational moving my brother listens to this My Favorites nonpareil nuggets old school Perfection Pink Floyd pop poprock positive prog rock Progressive Progressive rock progressive space rock psychedelic psychedelic classic rock Psychedelic Rock quiet storm relaxing rock rock top selezione 1 sexy male voice so effin happy and free space space rock sweet Symphonic Rock the classics totally adored tracks trippy rock white stripes
