Armored cars sail the sky They're pink at dawn If I lived forever you just wouldn't be so beautiful As the sun When it shines All over the world We're pilots watching the stars The world pre-occupied We're pilots watching the stars Who do you think we are? Ice and clouds Shimmer outside Rain just falls At magic hour It's just the sound Of you and me Time twitching Murmurs of our friendly machine
