Track Insight / Lyrics
Lone pilot fixes gaze
Under desert motel shade
Keeps thrusters close, the desert's waste
While Santa Fe glows, not far away
What lies ahead, hard to decide
Maintenance check, just over the divide
Once done, she'll roar, leaving this place
Only shadows witness the getaway space
Desert Thrust, out of the blue
Fuel to burn, time to break through
Engines pulse, a rhythmic sigh
In the neon darkness, reaching for the sky
Cockpit's cramped, 'board lit with dials
Grittiness, concentration, mesmerized by gauges
Thrusters flush, the mission's at hand
Headlights cut the night as the plane canters across the sand
What lies ahead, hard to decide
Maintenance check, just over the divide
Once done, she'll roar, leaving this place
Only shadows witness the getaway space
Desert Thrust, out of the blue
Fuel to burn, time to break through
Engines pulse, a rhythmic sigh
In the neon darkness, reaching for the sky
On a makeshift runway stretching far
Into the desert's vast open scar
The plane's dark shape chases the glow
Into the unknown, where more awaits below
Desert Thrust, out of the blue
Fuel to burn, time to break through
Engines pulse, a rhythmic sigh
In the neon darkness, reaching for the sky
Desert Thrust, out of the blue
Fuel to burn, time to break through
Engines roar, take-off complete
Into the night, a solitary flight
Thrusters fade, the desert nears
Santa Fe lights, a distant speck in year
The plane departs, shadows recede
Another mission ends in the night's deep freeze
