Five Miles Out

Lyrics

[Verse 1: Mike Oldfield] What do you do when you're falling? You've got 30 degrees, and you're stalling out And it's 24 miles to your beacon There's a crack in the sky and the warning's out [Refrain: Mike Oldfield] Don't take that dive again Push through that band of rain [Chorus: Maggie Reilly with Mike Oldfield] Five miles out Just hold your heading true Got to get your finest out You're Number 1, anticipating you Climbing out Just hold your heading true Got to get your finest out You're Number 1, anticipating you [Interlude: Mike Oldfield] Mayday, mayday, mayday Calling all stations This is Golf-Mike-Oscar-Victor-Juliet IMC CU. NIMB icing In great difficulty, over [Instrumental] [Verse 2: Maggie Reilly] The traffic controller is calling Victor-Juliet, it's your identity I have you lost in the violent storm Communicate on Squawk Emergency [Refrain: Maggie Reilly] Don't take that dive again Push through that band of rain [Breakdown: Mike Oldfield with Maggie Reilly] Lost in Static, 18 And the storm is closing in now Automatic, 18 (Got to push through) Trapped in living hell You're a prisoner of the dark sky The propeller blades are still And the evil eye of the hurricane Coming in now for the kill [Bridge: Maggie Reilly with Mike Oldfield] Our hope's with you Rider in the blue Welcome's waiting, we're anticipating You'll be celebrating when you're down and braking [Pre-Chorus: Maggie Reilly & Mike Oldfield] Climbing out (Climbing, climbing) Five miles out (Climbing, climbing) [Chorus: Mike Oldfield & Maggie Reilly] Five miles out Just hold your heading true Got to get your finest out (Climbing, climbing) Five miles out Just hold your heading true Got to get your finest out (Climbing, climbing) Climbing out Just hold your heading true Got to get your finest out (Climbing, climbing) Five miles out Just hold your heading true Got to get your finest out (Climbing, climbing) Climbing out Just hold your heading true Got to get your finest out (Climbing, climbing) Climbing out Just hold your heading true Got to get your finest out (Climbing, climbing)
