[Verse 1] The city lights below us start to blur Like cockpit dials, a red and golden blur Your silk sheet slips, revealing shadowed skin Our final, desperate countdown must begin The neon rain is washing down the glass We watch the ghost of our devotion pass [Verse 2] Your crimson lips taste bitter like the wine One last surrender before the border line The shadow of a wing across the floor You whisper that you cannot love me more We lock our eyes, the engines start to rise A midnight passion soaring through the skies [Chorus] This is our final flight into the dark A sensual crash, the burning of a spark No radar left to guide us through the night Just two lost bodies blinded by the light We take off high above the misty rain And land as strangers, numb to all the pain [Bridge - Muted Trumpet Solo] [The active bassline drives a slow, seductive groove while the muted trumpet plays a bleeding, sultry jazz solo] [Chorus] This is our final flight into the dark A sensual crash, the burning of a spark No radar left to guide us through the night Just two lost bodies blinded by the light We take off high above the misty rain And land as strangers, numb to all the pain [Outro] The altitude is dropping in your arms Safe for a moment from the world's alarms Unbuckle love, step out into the cold The flight is over, and the story’s told... (The Rhodes electric piano slowly dissolves into a whisper, backed by a final, lingering trumpet note)
