[Verse 1]
Through clear skies tracking lightly from far down the line
No fanfare, just a blip on the screen
No quick conclusions now, everything will be fine
Short-circuit glitch and not what it seems

[Chorus]
Fylingdale Flyer, you're only half way there
Green screen liar, for a second or so we were running scared

[Verse 2]
On late shift, feeling drowsy eyes glued to the display
Dead cert alert, lit match to the straw
One last quick game of bowls, we can still win the day
Fail-safe, forget the things that you saw

[Chorus]
Fylingdale Flyer, you're only half way there
Green screen liar, for a second or so we were running scared

[Verse 3]
They checked the systems through and they read a-okay
Some tiny fuse had probably blown
Sit back, relax and soon it will just go away
Keep your hands off that red telephone
[Chorus]
Fylingdale Flyer, you're only half way there
Green screen liar, for a second or so we were running scared

[Outro]
Fylingdale Flyer, you're only half way there
Green screen liar, for a second or so we were running scared
