Lyrics for Fly Into the Sun

Mid-Pacific Location: unknown Friend: out cold Fast out of the back And down below me: waves I'm climbing into the cockpit Smiling for the photographers Hey, Lady Lindy I don't even have my own name I'm going to fly to the sun Drop down through the center of the sea To the center of St. Louis, Missouri Both heaven fire Thy father lies Those are pyramids They hurt my silence Where did I get the sensation To hurl myself against the sky? And Allen Ginsberg singing America Why are your libraries full of tears? What's that sound? Everybody knows what's going down America
