Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Keep me in the sky, that's all that I cry
I'll become your servant if it's worth your time
Keep me in the sky, that's all that I'll say
I'll become your soldier, at least for this day
Keep me in the sky, that's all that I cry
I'll become your servant if it's worth your time
Keep me in the sky, that's all that I'll say
[Verse 2]
I know I haven't been walkin' a humble path
I know I cursed at your name and then laughed
And though I found it inane to bend calf
The servitude of groveling framed as pained task
I gotta figure, it can't hurt to ask
Suspension of disbelief in uniquely freak flash
Admission of the faithfully shaken, now trapped
Thirty thousand and droppin', it's on and poppin' at last
[Verse 3]
Keep me in the sky, that's all that I cry
I'll become your servant if it's worth your time
Keep me in the sky, that's all that I'll say
I'll become your soldier, at least for this day
[Verse 4]
(No) There are no atheists in the foxholes
(No) There is no intellect in the air
(No) There are no scientists on the way down
Just a workin' example of faith versus physics
[Verse 5]
(No) There are no atheists in the foxholes
(No) There is no intellect in the air
(No) There are no scientists on the way down
Just a workin' example of faith versus physics
[Verse 6]
Flyentology
Everybody get your ticket today
Flyentology
Welcome aboard, sir, right this way
Flyentology, flyen-flyentology
Our Bible is in your seat-back pocket
Tuck your head between your legs, now pray
[Verse 7]
I adore you
The same way that others always adored you
Emergency, humility, just break glass
I implore you
With no knowledge of dogma to conform to
I know I don't deserve it, but save my ass
And if I'm going down, let me do it in first class
The paganistic prayer of a heathen with wild past
Please forgive my bastardized style dash
And anoint me with salvation in form of non-crash
[Verse 8]
I wanna live so bad
All my life, I been so arrogant
This is a vessel of my wakening
Please father, put your hand out, carry it
[Verse 9]
I wanna live so bad
All my life, I been so arrogant
This is a vessel of my wakening
Goddamnit, put your hand out, carry it
[Verse 10]
(No) There are no atheists in the foxholes
(No) There is no intellect in the air
(No) There are no scientists on the way down
Just a workin' example of faith versus physics
[Verse 11]
(No) There are no atheists in the foxholes
(No) There is no intellect in the air
(No) There are no scientists on the way down
Just a workin' example of faith versus physics
[Verse 12]
This is
This is flyentology
Flyentology
Flyentology
[Verse 13]
Flyentology
Flyentology
Flyentology
Flyentology
Flyentology
[Verse 14]
Keep me in the sky, that's all that I cry
I'll become your servant if it's worth your time
Keep me in the sky, that's all that I'll say
I'll become your soldier, at least for this day
Keep me in the sky, that's all that I cry
I'll become your servant if it's worth your time
Keep me in the sky, that's all that I'll say
I'll become your soldier, at least for this day
