"Learning To Fly"
Pink Floyd

Into the distance, a ribbon of black
Stretched to the point of no turning back
A flight of fancy on a windswept field
Standing alone my senses reeled
A fatal attraction holding me fast, how
Can I escape this irresistible grasp?
Can't keep my mind from the circling skies
Tongue-tied and twisted Just an earth-bound misfit, I

Ice is forming on the tips of my wings
Unheeded warnings, I thought I thought of everything
No navigator to find my way home
Unladened, empty and turned to stone
A soul in tension that's learning to fly
Condition grounded but determined to try

Can't keep my mind from the circling skies
Tongue-tied and twisted just an earth-bound misfit, I
Above the planet on a wing and a prayer,
My grubby halo, a vapour trail in the empty air,
Across the clouds I see my shadow fly
Out of the corner of my watering eye
A dream unthreatened by the morning light
Could blow this soul right through the roof of the night

There's no sensation to compare with this
Suspended animation, A state of bliss
Can't keep my eyes from the circling skies
Tongue-tied and twisted just an earth-bound misfit, I

Shaggy, Falcon and Scooby Doo?

------------------------

I really want to know how this was slanted by the media overseas!!!

--------------------

Of course he had to jump in the balloon.

Imagine what child protective services would say if you put the kid in Ruby Red Slippers.........

----------------

I do have to say one thing.

If anything, the peeps who chased the balloon down are thankful for a little excitement and a change to their usual chasing down of cats in trees, calls to Grandma's house because she stood up too quickly and little Thelma (Yes we are doing a Scooby Doo thread--Shaggy?) getting her head stuck in the child gate between the kitchen and wash room......

It probably took a few hours off their lives, but we do have a pretty good system of first responders here in the States.


LOLOLOLOL,

I could see someplace like Soviets scrambling MIGs to shoot the little Bees turd down.

Does anyone remember the people that made a balloon to get over the Berlin Wall?
