Hang Gliders

 

Watching them

        from high hill top

                The ATC

                        in charge

OK - then go

        Go now - Charlie

        Go now beautiful

                beautiful good move

                        steady good

        up left   steady

                Steady   up left

        good ...hold it

                        hold it

        Beautiful

                        hold it

Beginners go off straight

Sweeping down to windward

                straight & level

        Landing on the beach

The more advanced - with

                less guidance

        soaring turn to land

                back on top

        & save the uphill walk

To see them     

        makes me ill

                So kool

Just say

        hold it

                up left

                        Steady

                Down right

                        that's it

                Just hold it

                        steady

        pretty - pretty

                        hold it

                down now - down

                        on the sand

        Watch it - watch it

                watch the people

                        good - good

If it were me

        I'd be screaming

                        No No

                Watch out man!

                        Up Up

                you'll kill yourself

                No No - up up

        Oh Christ - left

                        Left

                Left - - Not right

                        Damnit

        Left

                But they don't

                        have me for

                                ATC

                & I don't want

                              The Job
