[00:32.11] Into the distance, a ribbon of black
[00:37.66] Stretched to the point of no turning back
[00:43.35] A flight of fancy on a windswept field
[00:48.86] Standing alone my senses reeled
[00:54.54] A fatal attraction holding me fast, how
[00:59.38] Can I escape this irresistible grasp?
[01:05.84] Can't keep my eyes from the circling skies
[01:11.02] Tongue-tied and twisted Just an earth-bound misfit, I
[01:28.46] Ice is forming on the tips of my wings
[01:33.95] Unheeded warnings, I thought I thought of everything
[01:39.59] No navigator to guide my way home
[01:45.18] Unladened, empty and turned to stone
[01:50.78] A soul in tension that's learning to fly
[01:56.37] Condition grounded but determined to try
[02:02.00] Can't keep my eyes from the circling skies
[02:07.25] Tongue-tied and twisted just an earth-bound misfit, I
[02:14.55] Friction lock - set.
[02:15.75] Mixture - rich
[02:17.30] Propellers - fully forward
[02:20.20] Flaps - set - 10 degrees
[02:23.44] Engine gauges and suction - check
[02:25.79] Mixture set to maximum percent - recheck
[02:29.94] Flight instruments...
[02:33.05] Altimeters - check both
[02:37.93] (garbled word) - on
[02:40.74] Navigation lights - on
[02:44.65] Strobes - on
[02:48.50] (to tower): Confirm 3-8-Echo ready for departure
[02:51.35] (tower): Hello again, this is now 129.4
[02:53.29] (to tower): 129.4. It's to go.
[02:55.18] (tower): You may commence your takeoff, winds over 10 knots.
[02:57.73] (to tower): 3-8-Echo
[03:01.08] Easy on the brakes. Take it easy. Its gonna roll this time.
[03:05.33] Just hand the power gradually, and it...
[03:09.57] Above the planet on a wing and a prayer,
[03:15.22] My grubby halo, a vapour trail in the empty air,
[03:20.85] Across the clouds I see my shadow fly
[03:26.41] Out of the corner of my watering eye
[03:32.11] A dream unthreatened by the morning light
[03:37.60] Could blow this soul right through the roof of the night
[03:43.35] There's no sensation to compare with this
[03:48.78] Suspended animation, A state of bliss
[03:54.47] Can't keep my eyes from the circling skies
[03:59.77] Tongue-tied and twisted just an earth-bound misfit, I
