Five Miles High Lyrics - Singles - Hugh Cornwell

There's a man holding onto a baby and it's screaming out your name 

There's one or two uptight women on this brand new plane 

Been held up in the frost in Moscow and I'm getting out fast 

Been deiced from my tail to my mast 

Five miles high and heading for you x 2 

It seems that the longer you go for the crazier I get 

It always seems to happen and I've not been wrong yet 

My tank is overfull and my course has been set 

It's what you could call a maiden flight with no safety net 

Five miles high and heading for you x 2 

I'm up front surrounded by the chinese eyes 

But I'm holding out until I feel the thunder thighs 

First thing I get to do when I get to see to your lively mind 

Is get upstairs in the hirise horse race and I'll be betting blind 

Five miles high x 3 

Heading for you
