Apogee Lyrics - Under Wraps - Jethro Tull

Sailing round the true-blue sphere--- 

is it too late to bale out of here? 

Well, there has to be some better way 

to turn back the night, 

spin on to yesterday. 

The old man and his crew--- 

after all these years, 

it's apogee. 

Pilot training and remorse--- 

spirit friends fly too, 

at apogee. 

Apogee --- solar bright. 

Apogee --- through the night. 

Apogee --- overground. 

Don't think I'll be coming down.

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

Screened for a stable mate 

with nerves of ice we flew, 

at apogee. 

No creativity allowed 

to pass through stainless veins of steel, 

at apogee. 

Apogee --- put the kettle on. 

Tight-lipped --- soldier on. 

High point --- communicate. 

Don't forget to urinate. 

So glad they put this window in. 

How to explain, how to begin? 

See! Tennyson and Wordsworth there 

waiting for me in the cold, thin air. 

Beware a host of unearthly daffodils 

drifting golden, turned up loud. 

Tell the boys back home, 

I'm gonna get some.

The Wrong Stuff's loose in here --- 

I'm climbing up the walls, 

at apogee. 

So hoist the skull and bones --- 

death and glory's free, 

at apogee. 

A stranger wind, a solar breeze --- 

I'm walking out upon the starry seas. 

See pyramids, see standing stones --- 

pink cotton undies and blue telephones. 

Goodbye, cruel world that was my home --- 

there's a cleaner space out there to roam. 

Put my feet up on the moons of Mars --- 

sit back, relax and count the stars.
