Peak Man

Are we there yet? Is the clock set?
We have never been this far in a car
Could we learn to fly?
With our highways in the sky
And some solar powered wings
We'd be kings

Some day we'll live the dream
We're flying, we're flying
We're making headlines
In the news of the day
The daily papers scream but
They're lying, they're lying
When they say nothing else
Can stand in our way

And all those who expressed a view say
It's so much better today
We've never had it so good
Live while you can
But no one understands it
That's not the way we planned it
We hit Peak Man

Nothing to it! We can do it!
We can fly across the sea duty free
Look what can be done
We can fly right at the sun
Why let tales of Icarus bother us?

The dream's a nightmare now
We're stalling, we're stalling
We try to wake ourselves
But no one is asleep
We're flying like a scarecrow
We're falling, we're falling
The hill's behind us
And the valley is deep

Control is out the window
We know we're flying too low
We send a Mayday
And we pray while we can
There is no future in it
The summit was the limit
We hit Peak Man
We send a Mayday
And we pray while we can
There is no future in it
The summit was the limit
We hit Peak Man
We hit Peak Man
We hit Peak Man
