Catch A Falling Starfighter

atch a falling starfighter

Put it in the pocket of your jeans

You can use it as a cigarette lighter

Or as an opener for a can of beans

Catch a falling starfighter

Shine it up and wear it on a chain

You will find that it will be much brighter

If you empty out its cockpit down the drain

If you empty out its cockpit down the drain

I focused the magnifying glass

That brought the downfall of Icarus.

Balloons were easy; a simple pin;

Or a knife in the case of the zeppelin.

That blade was the cause of many a prang

In the early days of stick and string.

I am the gremlin.

I was there.

Making mischief in the air

And always will be wherever man

Flies in the face of Creation's plan.
