Flight b741 Lyrics by King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard
Have you traveled far?
Pilgrim or a wayfarer?
Hit yet, the greatest expanse
I long for that feel of romance
(Have you traveled far?)
Is this the place I want to be?
I’ve got to make this pilgrimage (Far, far away)
(Far, far, far)
Throwing off these chains, I see across the sky where I need to be (Up in the sky)
Well, picture me far away
It’s hard enough to say that you’d given it all up and fly away
There’s a hundred million steps between
Here and where I’d wanna be
Until I take the journey, there’s no other place I think I’d rather be
Well, I’ve never traveled lonesome
As the feeling goes, this plane is going down with me on
The splatter of the engine and the creaking of the skeleton composing a requiem, I’m frightened
If only we were at sea level, sailing a waterborne vessel
Memory, my only anchor
I love you
In another life, I would have thought about it twice
I would have taken your advice, I would have said, “I’m sorry.”
If by some unlikely chance, my plane miraculously lands
I’ll live every moment I can in gratitude
Darling, I, I’ll do it for you
And do it again until the plane can’t move
I’ll go back to school and learn to fly
No plane can stop me from falling to you
Baby, I’ll be seeing you from above the storm
Through a cyclone’s eye, your wings are mine
They keep me gliding across auroras until I’m home
Have you traveled far?
Far, far away
(Far, far, far)
Throwing off these chains, I see across the sky where I need to be (Up in the sky)
What if we fall out of the sky?
Is there even air to hold us?
How are we floating here?
This makes no sense; I wanna go home
