shut down, turn off

turn off all life support systems

i'm finished for the day

i'm on the midnight flyer

and i've really got to get away

shut down all your main engines

i'm going on reserve

there are things still undiscovered

oh

i hope i've got the nerve

shut down

turn off until the morning light

slow down

splash down

time to end the flight

make way dream time

here comes another night

i wish i could remember where i've been

i wanna talk to the pilot

he's in charge of my dreams

but he insists on vanishing

just as soon as he thinks he's been seen

i wanna recharge my batteries

leave me alone for awhile

we'll set off again in the morning

on a wing and a prayer and a smile

shut down

turn off until the morning light

slow down

splash down

time to end the flight

make way dream time

here comes another night

i wish i could remember where i've been

where have i been

shut down

turn off until the morning light

slow down

splash down

time to end the flight

make way dream time

here comes another night

oh

i wish i could remember where i've been

oh

shut down turn off until the morning light

make way dream time

here comes another night

oh

oh
