Crash ready now as I embrace the day
I keep my hands held steady and my head on straight
And I wander through the streets in the the city at night
Until it seems to me all in the world is right
Then I fall through the cracks that split my mind
And separate me from the city that I'm leaving behind
As I look back now at what it did to me
I see it set aside the worst of what was soon to be

But it's a long way to go before we break through the atmosphere
But we're off and when the end of the journey is near
We'll greet death with a gift of smiles and tears
But it's still a long way to go

Running now with the speed of a bullet
Can't slow down caught in the movement
Firing on all cylinders now
The speed is catching up to me I'm burning out
As the trail I left goes up in smoke
I know the only thing that to stop me is if throttle chokes

And it's a long way to go before we crash through the atmospehere
But our descent has begun and the end of the journey I fear
In time will come and we'll greet it with smiles and tears
But it's still a long way to go

We'll level out
