Sat by the window, widow sat And dreamed of planes in silhouette In cloud formations overhead Oh, you better get there when it matters When she's taking off, you will really need to hold on tight Pretty soon the connection is made We're ascending higher and higher each day And there's no turning back Sun is overhead, target's down below It's gonna be a wreck, all right It's a risk if you're flying fast enough With the rush of blood, you can bet you'll forget anyone She understands where you're taking herand she won't break up under the strain The engine sighs it's time, we must pull her out I have this to say to you, I'll do my best to save you But I'm hoping I don't black out 'Cause there's only one way down Then I wake up in a sweat Landing safely in bed Oh man I thought we were dead Punch me gently out of shape now darling It cannot be that bad For all I know we're high above the ground And there's only one way down
