Bad Bounce - Take Flight Lyrics

When you're down on the ground, and you're safe in your sound
Time is a record that is picking a fight
So the sky is your fate, captain Cake is your pilot for this flight
Still you're low in the dirt, you feel this pain oughta hurt
But it don't cause your knuckles show white
Holding onto the arm, rest in peace, Cake is flying home tonight

You got to swim in the clouds
You got to dive into the sun's holy beams
Quick in the cruising, altitude we're losing all of our dreams
You got to run in the sky
If you're not rising then you're just falling stars
Low in the going, crashing into the oceans of our hearts

Take flight, over me
In the night, over the sea
Take flight, over me
But the light, it was too bright to see

When you're high in the air, no hearts beat in despair
But the pilot who has just turned to ice
He's crying your name
His eyes are wide like he's going insane
You got to pilot this plane
If you don't fly it then we're all going down
Into the Earth, 'til we're free or until we are found

Take flight, over me
In the night, over the sea
Take flight, over me
But the light, it was too bright to see

Mayday, mayday. This is Captain Cake of flight 219
We are at an altitude of 4,000 meters and dropping
Engines 2 and 3 are showing signs of critical failure
A crash landing is imminent
Please, tell my family I love them

Take flight, over me
In the night, over the sea
Take flight, over me
But the light, it was too bright to see
