Learning To Fly Composer(s): Jon Carin - David Gilmour - Bob Ezrin - Anthony Moore - David Gilmour First release by: Pink Floyd - 1987
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 time to go (tower): you may commence your takeoff, winds over 10 knots (to tower): 3-8-echo Easy on the brakes Take it easy It's 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, I
