Track Insight / Lyrics
Rain hammers porch boards, propeller cough
Flashbulb pops, I catch the spark right off
Oil slicks the grain where wings should lift
Thunder rolls the dice, I call the gift
Wooden runway, storm don't scare me
Thrusters tangled, wild and hairy
No tower talks me down today
I fly where lightning paves the way
Polaroid shakes, develops slow
Rotor blur in monochrome glow
Bus ticket stubs stuck in my pocket seam
Fuel gauge reads a dream inside a dream
Wooden runway, storm don't scare me
Thrusters tangled, wild and hairy
No tower talks me down today
I fly where lightning paves the way
Porch light swings, a pendulum of fear
Neighbor's cat watches, ears pinned near
I check the mags, the plugs, the wire lead
Storm swallows every word I've said
No runway lights, just porch nail heads
No radio, just thunder treads
But lift is lift and air is air
Ground crew's a squirrel on a folding chair
Camera clicks, the moment framed in rain
History made on splintered grain
Shutter speed matches lightning strike
First flight logged on a Tuesday night
Wooden runway, storm don't scare me
Thrusters tangled, wild and hairy
No tower talks me down today
I fly where lightning paves the way
Dawn cracks open, storm moves east
Porch boards hold the oil, the beast
Film developed, proof exists
Gravity's just a suggestion, not a fist
Wooden runway, storm don't scare me
Thrusters tangled, wild and hairy
No tower talks me down today
I fly where lightning paves the way
Wooden runway, call the tower
I got altitude and I got power
Shutter clicks. Engine cools.
First snow on wooden runways.
