Pilot's driving underneath his eyelids
Momma's taking him home
Did you push him further than you maybe shoulda
Can't you leave a good thing alone?
Sit back tight
Rest your mind
Mother takes you by surprise
She's being cool
Oh sit back tight
Rest your eyes as
Mother takes you by her side
She's feeling cool
Home can help to save your mind
But soon enough there comes a time
When too much help can kill itself
You gotta find something to find
Something to believe in
I know you gotta find a place to
Go to go to go to go to go
Pilots preach about to keep them smiling
Papa's slowing down fast
If you pushed on could you ever see the finish
Who's afraid of leading last?
Oh sit back tight
Rest your mind
Ellis takes you through the night
She's feeling cool
Oh sit back tight
Rest your eyes
And know you'll never realize
She's being cool
Hope can help to pass the time
But soon the cuts run deep enough
The poor man's leg can't lift itself
You gotta find something to feed
Something to kill the heat
A song can't change his mind
But Pilot comes to
Comes to come to come to come
