lyrics

Flotation device
is strapped around my neck
It’s all that’s left
Of this fiery wreck

Specks of orange
In a sea so blue
Somehow my mind
Keeps returning to you

And I wonder
Where you’ve been to
And I wonder
Where you’ve gone
We shared something special
On the flight just before this one

The penultimate!

The penultimate one

Now I float on
Yes, I float on
But you’re long gone
You’re long gone

Why did I board
This flight to Peru
Should’ve made a transfer
To Miami with you

Feet in the sand
Sounds very nice
Much better than
This flotation device

And I wonder
Where you’ve been to
And I wonder
Where you’ve gone
Shared the same connection
On the flight just before this one

Dallas Ft Worth!

Dallas Ft Worth Terminal 1

Now I float on
Yes, I float on
But you’re long gone
You’re long gone
You’re long gone
You’re long gone

Yes, I float on
Yes, I float on
Yes, I float on
But you’re long gone

You’re long gone
You’re long gone

You’re long gone baby
And I’m still waiting around

This here device is my only
Goddamned friend

I’m blowing the whistle
But no one is listening

Not even the Maharishi can help me now

Yeah, I’m drifting
I’m not sinking
I’m just drifting
Drifting further from you

And now the sharks are circling
And licking their lips
And they’re looking at me thinking
Mmm time for dinner
They’re ringing the dinner bell

Parachutes on Fire Shanghai, China

We are a five-piece rock band that hits you like gravity, inescapable and ready to send you hurtling through the sky. Their aviation-themed music takes cues from classic rock as well as contemporary psychedelic rock bands. Composed of veteran musicians from the Shanghai rock scene, think serious songwriting, groovy riffs, endless delay and bold harmonies.
