Desert Flight

I feel my way
 Down the okra coloured day
 And I found a way
 To say goodbye to you again
 A hundred thousand miles
 I don't know why we don't explode
 With all that fuel leaking out
 We can be the first
 Tie a ribbon all 'round the world
 We'll make it a gift to us
 From the start with a wind-flapped officer's scarf
 Like a ghost in the wind
 All I want is to make it so
 You depend on what I need
 Still at 70 miles an hour
 Daylight fading into dusk
 Milky temple of the night in memory of your sweet delights
 The cities that we fly by are like
 Strangers waving from a train
 Elevator trim the mirrors blink at every lighthouse point
 You're asleep inside of me
 You can see the things that I can see
 This is everybody's way and every day
 We control ourselves as every night
 Our hearts pound like devil drums
 I don't know how they don't explode
