and dreamed of planes in silhouette
in cloud formations overhead
you better get there when it matters
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
it's a risk if you're flying fast enough
you can bet you'll forget anyone
she understands where you're taking her
and she won't break up under the strain
the engine sighs it's time
i have this to say to you
i'll do my best to save you
but i'm hoping i don't black out
cos there's only one way down
then i wake up in a sweat
oh man i thought we were dead
punch me gently out of shape now darling
for all i know we're high above the ground
and there's only one way down
