Five Miles Out - Mike Oldfield

What do you do when your falling

You've got 30 degrees and you're stalling out?

And it's 24 miles to your beacon

There's a crack in the sky and the warning's out

Don't take that dive again!

Push through that band of rain!

Five miles out

Just hold your heading true

Got to get your finest out

You're Number 1, anticipating you

Climbing out

Just hold your heading true

Got to get your finest out

You're Number 1, anticipating you

Mayday! Mayday! Mayday!

Calling all stations!

This is Golf-Mike-Oscar-Victor-Juliet

IMC CU. NIMB... icing

In great difficulty, over

The traffic controller is calling

"Victor-Juliet, your identity

I have you lost in the violent storm!

Communicate or squawk 'Emergency'!"

Don't take that dive again!

Push through that band of rain!

Lost in static, 18

And the storm is closing in now

Automatic, 18!

(Got to push through!)

Trapped in living hell!

Your a prisoner of the dark sky

The propeller blades are still!

And the evil eye of the hurricane's

Coming in now for the kill

Our hope's with you

Rider in the blue

Welcome's waiting, we're anticipating

You'll be celebrating, when you're down and braking

Climbing out

Five miles out

Just hold your heading true

Got to get your finest out...

(Climbing, climbing)

Five miles out

Just hold your heading true

Got to get your finest out...

(Climbing, climbing)

Climbing out

Just hold your heading true

Got to get your finest out...

(Climbing, climbing)

Five miles out

Just hold your heading true

Got to get your finest out...

(Climbing, climbing)

Climbing out

Just hold your heading true

Got to get your finest out...

(Climbing, climbing)

Climbing out

Just hold your heading true

Got to get your finest out...
