Blind Pilots

I hope you never change,

I hope you never go

I hope you'll always keep our little secrets though

But how'd we get here at this height?

And what's this talk of dead weight?

I know we always drink but we don't always fight

The landing lights are on but we're just out of sight'

Cos this thing's mobile there's still wheels

And I'm not done yet so hang on

You came along to change the grade

To raise the bar

I'd made of late

You came along to raise the stakes

To tend to me and my mistakes

I can't pretend that

I could be

The man you said you saw in me

But hang around and

I'll try and land this thing

No one came, no one saw

No one came, no one saw

Someone pass the manual

And soon I'll go away,

I'll see you at the door

So go put

David on, read about the war

We're just blind pilots in strange planes

Back seat drivers in dead cars

You came along to change the grade

To raise the bar

I'd made of late

You came along to raise the stakes

To tend to me and my mistakes

I can't pretend that

I could be

The man you said you saw in me

But hang around and

I'll try and land this thing

Yeah, I made a list of all the things

That I could change, how

I could win

I can't and

I refuse to say

The wheels have slowly come away

I pray to

God my soul to keep'

Cos I could never stand the heat

But hang around and

I'll try and land this thing

No one came, no one saw

No one came, no one saw

Someone pass the manual
