Chords in this song12
capo 1 — sounds a semitone higherVerse 1
Hey Jean, this is Henry McLean
An' I finished my beautiful flying machine
An' I'm ringing to say that I'm leaving an' maybe
You'd like to fly with me and hide with me, baby
Isn't it strange how little we change
Isn't it sad we're insane
Playing the game that we know ends in tears
The game we've been playing for thousands and thousands and thousands
Chorus 1
Jumps into his cosmic flyer, pulls his plastic collar higher
Light the fuse and stand well back, he cried, this is my last goodbye
Point me at the sky and let it fly
Point me at the sky and let it fly
Point me at the sky and let it fly...
Verse 2
And if you survive till two thousand and five
I hope you're exceedingly thin
For if you are stout you will have to breathe out
While the people around you breathe in, breathe in, breathe in
Chorus 2
People pressing on my sides is something that I hate
And so is sitting down to eat with only little capsules on my plate
Point me at the sky and let it fly
Point me at the sky and let it fly
Point me at the sky and let it—
Bridge
Outro
And all we've got to say to you is goodbye!
