Turn off all life support systems
I'm finished for the day
I'm on the midnight flyer
And I've really got to get away
Shut down all your main engines
I'm going on reserve
There are things still undiscovered
Oh, I hope I've got the nerve
Shut down, turn off until the morning light
Slow down, splash down, time to end the flight
Make way dream time, here comes another night
I wish I could remember where I've been
I wanna talk to the pilot
He's in charge of my dreams
But he insists on vanishing
Just as soon as he thinks he's been seen
I wanna recharge my batteries
Leave me alone for awhile
We'll set off again in the morning
On a wing and a prayer and a smile
Shut down, turn off until the morning light
Slow down, splash down, time to end the flight
Make way dream time, here comes another night
I wish I could remember where I've been
Where have I been
Shut down, turn off until the morning light
Slow down, splash down, time to end the flight
Make way dream time, here comes another night
Oh, I wish I could remember where I've been, oh
Shut down turn off until the morning light
Make way dream time, here comes another night, oh, oh
I'm finished for the day
I'm on the midnight flyer
And I've really got to get away
Shut down all your main engines
I'm going on reserve
There are things still undiscovered
Oh, I hope I've got the nerve
Shut down, turn off until the morning light
Slow down, splash down, time to end the flight
Make way dream time, here comes another night
I wish I could remember where I've been
I wanna talk to the pilot
He's in charge of my dreams
But he insists on vanishing
Just as soon as he thinks he's been seen
I wanna recharge my batteries
Leave me alone for awhile
We'll set off again in the morning
On a wing and a prayer and a smile
Shut down, turn off until the morning light
Slow down, splash down, time to end the flight
Make way dream time, here comes another night
I wish I could remember where I've been
Where have I been
Shut down, turn off until the morning light
Slow down, splash down, time to end the flight
Make way dream time, here comes another night
Oh, I wish I could remember where I've been, oh
Shut down turn off until the morning light
Make way dream time, here comes another night, oh, oh
