". . . Feels so good to pull and swing
The world around our wing."

Hard-Drinking Hang Gliding Men
We're hard-drinking hang gliding men
We do it again and again
We fly 'til we're high
As the clouds in the sky
We're hard-drinking hang gliding men.
We're white-knuckled hang gliding men
We do it again and again
We fly o'er the seas
And we land in the trees
We're white-knuckled hang gliding men.
We're hard-drinking hang gliding men
We do it again and again
We sing like we fly
Only not quite so high
We're hard-drinking hang gliding men.
We're hard-drinking hang gliding men
We do it again and again
We fly all day long
And then sing our song
We're hard-drinking hang gliding men.
We're hard, horny hang-gliding men
We do it again and again
We love like we fly
Full of passion and lies
We're hard, horny hang-gliding men
We're hung over hang-gliding men
We throw up again and again
We don't wanna fly
And feel like we'll die
We're hung over hang-gliding men.

Flyin' My Life Away
You gotta
Launch hard
Run fast
Fly far
Land last
Kick their butts
Every year
No fear
Push it to the max
Just keep a goooooooo in'
They say you're
Insane
No brain
Launching
In the rain
Downwind
Hard whack
Come back
You don't even care
How hard it's snoooooooow in'
Oooooooooo
I'm flyin' my life away
Skyin' every sunny day
Ooo eee

For me

Inspo
Frisco
Funston
Junction
Lakeview
Wallaby
Elsinore
With your Exxtasy
That's not yet paaaaaaid for
Your wife is
Nag in'
Gripe in'
Sue in'
Leave in'
That's OK
Glider's safe
Stashed away
At your buddy's place
Lying on his garaaaaaage floor
Oooooooooooo
I'm flyin' my wife away
She don't drive good anyway
Ooo eeee
Oooooooooooo
I'm flyin' my wife away
And she says I'm gonna pay

Wouldn't want another way
Ooo eeee
