She packed my bags last night pre-flight
Zero hour nine a.m.
And I'm gonna be high as a kite by then
I miss the earth so much I miss my wife
It's lonely out in space
On such a timeless flight

And I think it's gonna be a long long time
Till touch down brings me round again to find
I'm not the man they think I am at home
Oh no no no I'm a rocket man
Rocket man burning out his fuse up here alone

(-- Sir Elton John)

"Here I am to save the day."

"And all the girlies say I'm pretty fly for a white guy."

"Sky pilot, how high can you fly?"

"Believe it or not, I'm walking on air."

"A wing and a prayer will guide you."

"Put your arms around me, baby, put your arms around me baby, I just wanna fly."

"And I'm floating in a most peculiar way..."

"Do you know the way to San Jose?"

"Greased and slicked down body, groovy leather trim..."

"That's really super, Supergirl."

"They fly through the air with the greatest of ease, those daring young men with their flying machines."

"Swing low chariot come down easy, taxi to the terminal zone. Cut your engines and cool your wings and let me make it to the telephone."

"On the march, Berlin to Bomber's Bay. Traveling dark, on the road to Mandalay."

"Might as well jump. Jump! Go ahead, jump."

Run silent, run deep really freakin high!

"Fly my pretties, fly!"

"Surprise! Surprise! Surprise!"

So she says, "take a flying leap", and I says, "OK."

"You'll always remember this as the day you almost caught Captain Jack Sparrow."
