The storm it keeps me up tonight
The thunder thrashes any peace
A clouded mind I’m thinking through
Sometimes it’s hard to see the truth
The hero always finds a way
To save the world and get the girl
But I’m a man who’s lost this fight
There’s no hero here tonight

So why can’t I be stronger for you
I try to live my life with virtue
It’s midnight in this lonely city
I want your love and not your pity please

I lay my head down on the bed
And wonder how it came to this
There’s not a dream I haven’t lost
There’s no desire without a cost
And all my plans to make a change
Are only rumors in the wind
But I’m afraid that what is real
Will turn my heart to solid steel

So why can’t I be stronger for you
I try to live my life with virtue
It’s midnight in this lonely city
I want your love and not your pity please

Strip it down, grease it up, push, push it through
Cut the sky with a new fresh attitude

Feel the ground lose its edge, watch it disappear
Picasso knows if it kills then you volunteer

Clever wit, perfect fit in Adidas shoes
Get you noticed here in show biz then we’ll let it cruise

I wanna rush but the vibe says take it slow
‘Cause all the hits geeky bits are in my iPod yo
I take it wherever I go

Eyes wide open, rules are broken
When you’re a mile high
Get away and find a ray of hope
Come on, touch the sky
There’s no time like now

Chorus:
Na na na na, na na na na
I got my wings
Na na na na, na na na na
Kitty Hawk
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Flying boys, flying girls made it just in time
‘Cause if you’re late to the gate there’s a stupid line

If you’re hot I saved a spot you know it’s oversold
But if your breath stinks, the comments are closed
Go back to YouTube

Eyes wide open, rules are broken
When you’re a mile high
Get away and find a ray of hope
Come on, touch the sky
There’s no time like now

Na na na na, na na na na
I got my wings
Na na na na, na na na na
Kitty Hawk
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Emin 120bpm 04-28-07

I started this just over a week ago but have been too busy to spend much time writing or recording. Lame.

I wrote this with two things in mind: (1) working out, (2) a heist. So if you can imagine me training for The Italian Job, then you get the picture.

A whole bunch of funky blips and bleeps in C#min at 110bpm. I’ve got a hook to go with this but have yet to record it.
