Flight Test
... the test is over.
(( Flight Test, The Flaming Lips ))
I thought I was smart, I thought I was right.
I thought it better not to fight
I thought there was a virtue in always being cool.
So it came time to fight, I thought I'll just step aside
And that the time would prove you wrong
And that you would be the fool.
I don't know where the sunbeams end and the starlights begin
It's all a mystery
Oh to fight is to defend
If it's not now then tell me when would be the time that you would stand up and be a man
A vote to lose I could accept, but to surrender I just wept
And regretted this moment
Oh that I...I was the fool.
I don't know where the sunbeams end and the starlights begin
It's all a mystery
And I don't know how a man decides what's right for his own life
It's all a mystery
'Cause I'm a man, not a boy
And there are things you can't avoid
You have to face them when you're not prepared to face them.
If I could, I would
But you're with him now, it'd do no good
I should have fought him, but instead I let him...
I let him take it.
I don't know where the sunbeams end and the starlights begin
It's all a mystery
And I don't know how a man decides what's right for his own life
It's all a mystery.
