[Silence]<\/p>\n

[Instrumental, Guitar, Piano, Organ, Synth, Bass, Percussion, Drums]<\/p>\n

[Intro]
\nReady for takeoff
\n(I wouldn’t scoff)<\/p>\n

Flying by…
\n(By the seat of the pants)<\/p>\n

I was flying by…
\n(By the seat of my pants)
\nThe circumstance…
\n(… I had to fly.)<\/p>\n

I wouldn’t scoff
\n(Are YOU ready for takeoff?)<\/p>\n

I was flying by…
\n(By the seat of my pants)
\nThe circumstance…
\n(… I had to fly.)<\/p>\n

I wouldn’t scoff
\n(Are YOU ready for takeoff?)<\/p>\n

[Bridge]
\nDo as you dare
\n(Up in the air)
\nPlay the day…
\n(Or be played.)<\/p>\n

[Breakdown]
\nHey! Hey! Hey!
\n(Hear what they say)
\nThe levity (of the gravity)
\n… is getting to me.<\/p>\n

(Set me free)<\/p>\n

[Refrain]
\nI’m flying by…
\n(By the seat of my pants)
\nThe circumstance…
\n(… I tried to fly.)<\/p>\n

… I too off…
\n(And turned on…)
\nNow, aloof…
\n(… living proof)
\nFlyin’ on!
\n(On and on and on)<\/p>\n

[Final Refrain]
\nWe’re flying by…
\n(By the seat of our pants)
\nThe circumstance…
\n… beyond “why”…
\n(… we tried to fly.)<\/p>\n

… we too off…
\n(And turned on…)
\nNow, aloof…
\n(… living proof)
\nFlyin’ on!
\n(On and on and on)<\/p>\n

[Outro]
\nFly on on
\n(Try!)
\nOn and on
\n(Fly!)<\/p>\n
