Lyrics

Far up, far out, and high above the Earth Should get a simple job where I won't get hurt But now I'm higher than I've ever gotten The world below looks bitterly deserted, godless and forgotten Far up, far out, at twice the speed of sound Can't see a soul, but I could never on the ground The scene below is like a puddle of blood The sky turned red and the sun went to bed And I went on into the deepest darkness I've ever known I've never felt so alone Through the night, the cabin lights shine Keep me awake, unaware of the time I look above to see if anyone is keeping me safe I close my eyes, 'cause the view almost drove me insane Next I looked up, I was beating the plain, a herd And the Injuns appeared to me and offered safe passage of my herd And I saw [?] of fire fly out of the world No difference between heaven and hell Must have meant I was an atheist [?] it was thoughtless [?] Like a foghorn I saw the soldiers' spirits rising through the clouds Trying the catalyst there, who's smiling now An avenue where other people believed An offer now, of the protection, evil-sleeved
