No Bird (Mr. Hardy)

I got the engines running

and the systems are checked

this will be the day, will be the day, will be the day that I'll never forget

never felt like much of a man

always felt like a bird

my mother always said I'm insane

but a bird won't get hurt

oh lord, the weather has changed

heavy clouds in the south

but I know how to tame a hurricane

once you're in, you get out

they say it's impossible, but I'm extraordinarily trained I'm a no-mistake man

I don't mind to entertain, I got a name

I got it all in my hands

and the engines sing

and the engines sing

operator, operator see you later

I'm over and out

oh, believe me in moments like this

there's no room for doubt

I hear the engines singing goodbye

so I turn the music loud

I'm sure attitude trumps altitude

I'm singing on, so mother's proud, so mother's proud

oh my lord come please get me out of here

oh, I don't wanna fade don't wanna fade away so easily
