Flyin' the Drone

Verse

On a long and lonesome highway, east of Iowa…

You can listen to the motors of the E3

moanin' out it’s one note song

You can think about the boiler or the mine you flew the night before…

But your thoughts will soon be wanderin' the way they always do

When you're training sixteen hours and there's nothin' much to do

And you don't feel much like Flyin ', you just wish the trip was through

Chorus

Here I am

Flyin the drone again

There I am

Building another cage…

Here I go

Flyin the drone again…

There I go

Give me a Battery!

Verse

Well you walk into this refinery all strung out from the road…

And you feel the eyes upon you as you're starting up the drone…

You pretend it doesn't bother you but you just hope it won’t explode

Most times you can't hear 'em talk, other times you can

All the same old cliches,

"9 minutes?? 60-grand???

And you always seem outnumbered and you just want to do your scan….

Make your scan!!!

Chorus

Oh, here I am

Flying the drone again

There I am

Building another cage….yeah

Here I go

Playin' star again

There I go

Build another cage!!!

Verse

Out there in the spotlights you're 30 meters away

Every ounce of battery seems to drain away

As the sweat pours out your body,

You hope it won’t fly awayyy!!!

Later in the evening as you lie awake in bed

With the echoes from the E3 motors ringin' in your head

You smoke the day's last cigarette, rememberin' what johan said…

What he said….

Chorus

Oh, here I am

Flying the drone again

There I am

Building another cage….yeah

Here I go

Playin' star again

There I go

Gimme a battery!!!

There I go!!

Build another cage!!

There I go!!

Fly that drooooone!!!!

Fly that drone….

Here I go!!

Fly that droooooooone….
