Well there once flew

A pilot high and free

Danced with the clouds

Pirouette with the breeze

But I'll sink to

The mechanical beat

That pulsed at the heart

Of a metal machine

Thought of their partner

And thought of their kids

Thought where they're going

And thought where they've been

But a sudden change

The routine shattered

Prepare the mind

Arrange the matters

Deadstick

Deadstick

Deadstick

Deadstick

I'm a bird with a broken wing

Deadstick

Deadstick

Deadstick

Deadstick

This nightingale can't sing

Yeah

I wake with a retch to the smell

Of ammonia and my eyes start watering

A shadow of body who are you

I say when a voice

Cracks like a frozen lake

I am your child you are my mother

And I'm sitting here dying

I said I got no children

I am but a boy

You are mistaken she says

Follow me down through the wind and the

Earth to the edge of the forgotten sea

Save us from the hurt

Tell me I'm the one

The phantom has taken everything

Deadstick death wish

Burning in a cockpit

Praying in the cabin

We're all holding hands

Deadstick death wish

Lock up our phones

The propellers ain't spinning

Bein' forced to land

Deadstick death wish

Startin' up the engines

Blue skies are turning a darker grey

Deadstick death wish

Heading for the burning hole

In the airfield I can't locate

Mayday mayday mayday save me

I'm in a tight spot catastrophe

Mayday mayday mayday save me

I'm about to make a crash landing

Deadstick

Deadstick

I'm a bird with a broken wing

Deadstick

Deadstick

This nightingale can't sing

Yeah

Deadstick death wish

I can't believe

We made it out alive

Deadstick death wish

Send me help before I die
