The Aviator

[Verse 1]

Riding on the moonpath in the silver of the night

The fragrance on the air was of another time

I cried in all my innocence, you were dressed in white

And even if I'd had the strength, I couldn't move to save my life

[Verse 2]

The fear and the thrill of the beast at the window

The shivers and the chills on the hottest of nights

He walked right through my open door

As I began to run, he threw some gold upon the floor, and said

''Plenty more where that came from''

[Chorus 1]

I'm tired of the bombs

I'm tired of the bullets

I'm the aviator

A dream's a dream whatever it seems, whatever it seems

[Verse 3]

I flew along the lighted streets, I flew above the town

I flew in ever rising circles ever further from the ground

As I begin to lose my breath, faces turn and spin

A distant corner of the room will open up and let me in

[Chorus 2]

I'm tired of the news

I'm tired of the weather

I'm the aviator

A dream's a dream whatever they say, whatever they say

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 4]

I flew along the lighted streets, I flew above the town

I flew in ever rising circles ever further from the ground

I cried in all my innocence, you were dressed in white

And even if I'd had the strength I couldn't move to save my life

[Chorus 3]

I'm tired of the bombs

I'm tired of the bullets

I'm tired of the crazies on TV

I'm the aviator

A dream's a dream whatever it seems

[Chorus 2]

And I'm tired of the news

Tired of the weather

Tired of the same thing every day

I'm the aviator

A dream's a dream whatever they say, whatever they say
