Jethro Tull - Apogee Lyrics
Sailing round the true-blue sphere---Is it too late to bale out of here?Well, there has to be some better wayTo turn back the night,Spin on to yesterday.The old man and his crew---After all these years,Its apogee.Pilot training and remorse---Spirit friends fly too,At apogee.Apogee --- solar bright.Apogee --- through the night.Apogee --- overground.Dont think Ill be coming down.Screened for a stable mateWith nerves of ice we flew,At apogee.No creativity allowedTo pass through stainless veins of steel,At apogee.Apogee --- put the kettle on.Tight-lipped --- soldier on.High point --- communicate.Dont forget to urinate.So glad they put this window in.How to explain, how to begin?See! tennyson and wordsworth thereWaiting for me in the cold, thin air.Beware a host of unearthly daffodilsDrifting golden, turned up loud.Tell the boys back home,Im gonna get some.The wrong stuffs loose in here ---Im climbing up the walls,At apogee.So hoist the skull and bones ---Death and glorys free,At apogee.A stranger wind, a solar breeze ---Im walking out upon the starry seas.See pyramids, see standing stones ---Pink cotton undies and blue telephones.Goodbye, cruel world that was my home ---Theres a cleaner space out there to roam.Put my feet up on the moons of mars ---Sit back, relax and count the stars.
