This Flight Tonight - Intellectual

[Verse 1]

Look out the left, the captain said

The lights down there, that's where we'll land

I saw a falling star burn up

Above the Las Vegas sands

It wasn't the one that you gave to me

That night down south between the trailers

Not the early one that you can wish upon

Not the northern one that guides in the sailors

Oh, star bright, star bright

You've got the lovin' that I like all right

Turn this crazy bird around

I shouldn't have got on this flight tonight

You got the touch so gentle and sweet

But you've got that look so critical

Now I can't talk to you, baby, I get so weak

Sometimes I think love is just mythical

Up there's the heavens, down there's a town

Blackness everywhere and little lights shine

Oh, blackness, blackness dragging me down

Come on, light the candle in this poor heart of mine

Oh, star bright, star bright

You've got the lovin' that I like all right

Turn this crazy bird around

I shouldn't have got on this flight tonight

I'm drinking sweet champagne, got the headphones up high

Can't numb you out, can't drum you out of my mind

They're playing "Goodbye, baby, baby, goodbye

Ooh ooh, love is blind"

Up go the flaps, down go the wheels

I hope you got your heat turned on, baby

I hope they finally fixed your automobile

I hope it's better when we meet again, baby

Star bright, star bright

You've got the lovin' that I like all right

Turn this crazy bird around

Shouldn't have got on this flight tonight
