Cant Get Flight - Limp Situation

Verse 1

Got the helmets lined up on the rack

Brand new gliders waiting in the pack

Two-stroke engines shiny and clean

Finest flight school you ever seen

Got the manuals printed out neat

Just need some students to fill the seats

But the wind sock is hanging dead low

And my dreams just can't get up and go I'm trying to launch this school of flight

But I can't get it up to save my life

The spirit is willing the motors are primed

But it won't rise up at the perfect time

It's a limp situation it's a tragic drag

Just staring down at an empty bag

Yeah she's staying on the ground tonight

It's hard to build a school when you can't get flight

Verse 2

The advertising budget is completely spent

But I can't seem to pitch this tent

I pull on the starter I check the lines

Looking for the reassuring signs

But it's soft and heavy no lift in the breeze

Just sitting right here around my knees

A total failure to launch you see

No aerodynamic majesty

Pre-Chorus

Come on now baby give me one good gust

Show me that the trying still means something worth trust

Chorus

Oh I'm trying to launch this school of flight

But I can't get it up to save my life

The spirit is willing the motors are primed

But it won't rise up at the perfect time

It's a limp situation it's a tragic drag

Just staring down at an empty bag

Yeah she's staying on the ground tonight

It's hard to build a school when you can't get flight

Bridge

Maybe I need some financial blue pills

To spark up the passion and pay the bills

Because pressure and stress make the canopy stall

And right now I'm getting no altitude at all

No altitude at all

No altitude at all

Guitar Solo

Chorus

Oh I'm trying to launch this school of flight

But I can't get it up to save my life

The spirit is willing the motors are primed

But it won't rise up at the perfect time

It's a limp situation it's a tragic drag

Just staring down at an empty bag

Yeah she's staying on the ground tonight

It's hard to build a school when you can't get flight

Outro

Just sitting in the field

Propeller ain't spinning

Glider's just a wrinkled heap of nylon

Can't get it up

Maybe tomorrow the wind will blow

Yeah maybe tomorrow

Maybe tomorrow
