Test Pilot - TV On The Radio

Hope it isn’t broken, tried to keep it open

But I couldn’t hold it, smashed it down for all to see

And I tried to get repairs done, I couldn’t fix it

So, I picked it up and smashed it down for all to see

But I remember when we were so cool

And you were the only one

And now I know that I was such a fool

Thinking you’re the only one

(You know we are) We are high, and we are fine

(You know we are) And we are gliding through the things that tear us apart

(You know we are) We are high, and we are fine

(You know we are) And we are going to need the strength it takes to pave the way

And be the first test pilot

Now we’re stumbling through the motions, criminal and careless

Thought you were my best friend, now I couldn’t care less, can’t you see?

And you’re playing my emotions, way out of proportion

Damage and distortion, blasting through your fantasy

Oh, but I was such a fool

Thinking you’re the only one

It didn’t have to be so cruel

Thinking you’re the only one

I know that we get down

But we can’t touch the ground

Look up, fall into sky

Gone at the speed of sound

One circle back around

Straight on, test pilot, fly

(You know we are) We are high, and we are fine

(You know we are) And we are gliding through the things that tear us apart

(You know we are) We are high, and we are fine

(You know we are) And we are going to need the strength it takes to pave the way

(You know we are) We are high, and we are fine

(You know we are) And we are gliding through the things that tear us apart

(You know we are) We are high, and we are fine

(You know we are) And we are going to need the strength it takes to pave the way

And be the first test pilot
