Sixteen hours from London
Flying on a Dc-10
You know I wonder if when that plane sets down
I'll ever be able to walk again
I spent thirty five days in Europe
Singing 'til my voice is gone
You know there's never time enough to get a good night's sleep
What is this road that I've been running on
I've got to stop this flight
I got to get back to earth
Hey, I'm a human being
God knows what that's worth
I'm not meant to be stranded on some empty stage
And end up lonely in my old age
I've got to stop
Stop this flight
People try to twist your message
Reporters try to twist your mind
You know I just can't wait 'til I can get back home
I really miss that girl of mine
She's the only one I really (can) talk to
She's where my heart begins and ends
It ain't no lust or money relationship, uh uh
We were teenage buddies and childhood friends
Come on stop this flight
Help me God, get back to earth
Hey, I'm a human being
God knows what that's worth
And now I'm moving like a dancer on a empty stage
But I'll be risen from this prison at the end of the age
Yeah eh
Oh
I'm always locked up in the studio
Hey, this ain't no way to live
You know they never like my albums 'til the records sell
And they always want more than I can possibly give
I've been struggling for inspiration
An' hoping that the songs don't flop
And I'll be waiting like a beggar for the option to drop
You've got to live up to the contract 'til they tell you to stop
You've gotta stop this flight
You've got to get back to earth
Hey, we are human beings
God knows what that's worth
We're not meant to be trapped in this fleshly cage
And end up screaming like a demon at the end of the age
We're meant to stop the flights (Stop this flight)
That's right stop it stop it (Stop this flight)
You've got to stop your flight (Stop this flight)
Stop your flight
(Stop this flight) Stop running around
(Stop this flight) Get your feet on the ground
(Stop this flight) You've got to stop this flight
(Stop this flight) You know who you are
(Stop this flight) You know what you're supposed to do
(Stop this flight) You've got to stop this, stop, stop, stop
(Stop this flight) Running around
(Stop this flight)
