Blind Pilots Songtext

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

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

Someone pass the manual
