Headin’ out this evening on a plane
I got nothin’
I didn’t get to say
This town’s gone wrong for me
It’s time to fly away
It’s madness on the ground
I gotta get this record played

Whoa…
If the light starts to fade
Whoa…
Well I can break them in today
Whoa…
Though I’m writin’ it all in the dark
Headed out this evening
Gettin’ one more look at the clouds through the stars

I can see it now as I’m touchin’ down
The same old kind of city life
With a different sound
Tomorrow
From black and white to blue
Well this phoenix has to rise
Or I’ll put a bullet through me, yeah

Whoa…
If the light starts to fade
Whoa…
Well I can break them in today
Whoa…
If the music gets me high
Let it take you back to the place where seasons hung like clothes on the line
All this city madness
There’s too much traffic
Neon lightning in my head
But if astrology
Or reality
Misleads me
Then I’m dead

Heading out this evening on a plane
I’ve got nothing
I didn’t get to say
This town’s gone wrong for me
It’s time to fly away
It’s madness on the ground
I gotta get this record played

Whoa…
If the light starts to fade
Whoa…
Well I can break them in today
Whoa…
Though I’m writin’ it all in the dark
Headed out this evening
After one more look at the clouds through the stars

Whoa…
