Pink Floyd - Point Me at the Sky
Point Me at the Sky

"Point Me at the Sky"    (Waters, Gilmour)
Hey, Eugene,
This is Henry McClean
And I've finished my beautiful flying machine.
And I'm ringing to say,
That I'm leaving and maybe
You'd like to fly with me
And hide with me, baby.

Isn't it strange
How little we change?
Isn't it sad we're insane?
Playing the game that we know end in tears,
The games we've been playing for thousands and thousands and thousands….

Pointing to his cosmic glider,
"Pull this plastic glider higher,
Light the fuse and stand right back"
He cried "This is my last good-by".

Point me at the sky and let it fly.
Point me at the sky and let it fly.
Point me at the sky and let it fly.

And if you survive till two thousand and five,
I hope you're exceedingly thin.
For if you are stout you will have to breathe out,
While the people around you breathe in,
Breathe in,
Breathe in,
Breathe in.

People pressing on might say,
It's something that I hate to say.
I'm slipping down to eat the ground,
A little refuge on my brain.

Point me at the sky and let it fly.
Point me at the sky and let it fly.
Point me at the sky and let it fly.

And all we've got to say to you is good-bye.
(Incomprehensible)  it's good-bye.
(Incomprehensible)  it's good-bye.
(Incomprehensible)  it's good-bye.
(Incomprehensible)  it's good-bye.
(Incomprehensible)  it's good-bye.
(Incomprehensible)  it's good-bye.
(Incomprehensible)  it's good-bye.
