Pull the blind if you like
There'll be one stripe
That the sunlight hits
No hair gets left unsplit
That's just the way we do it on this ship
Each mistake, more or less
Will be some match
For the daylight mess
Can't score a nightclub floor
It'd have a few on me for sure
We'll scrub our skin 'til we're clean
And we will teach the young team
That while we're pilots who fly
We'll shoot them from the sky
Slow decline over time
Could have been missed out
If we'd checked our pride
All's well when distance swells
That's the way we tell it to ourselves
On your toes sense erodes
Couldn't we stand up
When the pavements froze?
I keep falling off slack lines
And landing on my feet each time
We'll scrub our skin 'til we're clean
And we will teach the young team
That while we're pilots who fly
We'll shoot them from the sky
Stand on my feet and turn off the light
We're sleeping late tonight
Stand on my feet and turn off the light
We're sleeping late tonight
Stand on my feet and turn off the light
We're sleeping late tonight
Stand on my feet and turn off the light
We're sleeping late tonight
