F104, come in F104…

C’mon get down F104

Ho, get back up F104!

Aw, now, one more time for me

On the ground F1--104 get down.

'Cause you know and I know it’s a private thing

At twice the speed of

Sound blue goes to black

You’re spinning flat like a skipping stone F104

But don’t green apple

Ok.

We want no defenstrations today, okay?

F104 where are you at?

Play it Kenneth!

Uh!

You think you’re staying cool while its getting hot, eh?

F104 here, uh, stop flapping your gums

I wear my own clothes now

And I don’t need you to roll up my sleeves, ok?

Uh ground here, uh, that’s a couple of million, F104

F104 here, uh, look this is a private thing

And I don’t want you talking about it

Down there with your nice friends

Cause this is a private thing, ok?

Cause I’ve tried A

And then I’ve tried B

And then I’ve tried C…

But no, I won’t green apple

Uh, this is the ground F104

Get outa there, get outa there F104!

F104 uh, not to sweat baby

It’s my hide and I can ride her out

This is the ground get down here F104

You and I know who your hide

Belongs to!

F104 here, uh, I guess I’m at about 75 thousand feet

And the rpm’s are damn near zero

Uh, maybe falling about 150 feet a second

Uh, that makes about 9000 feet a minute

Uh, Like I said I’ve tried A

And I’ve tried B

And C, didn’t do nothing

Just spinning around

Like a boomerang

In the sky up here… I reckon

I got about one last shot

Ok, this is a private thing

This blue to black

At twice the speed of sound

It’s green silent peace

With waves around

And it’s lighting up

Like a damn Christmas tree in here!

But we’ll ignore what these little lights are saying

And enjoy the view because

You know and I know

It’s just that little old problem

Our boys in Engineering find so entertaining

This is the ground, come in F104

Come in F104, come in F104

F104 here, I’d love to talk to you sweetheart

But this Christmas tree is smoking

And it’s obscuring the view

I’m preparing to disintegrate now

I’ll see you boys

For a drink on the ground

At about 1900 hours, okay?

BYE!
