Pilots Assemble in a Triangle

from Big Sal and The Computers by Yellow Jacket Avenger

/

lyrics

The night my life ended
there were stars and aircraft
light took the ground crew by surprise
a thick yellow fog that was born in rainbow gas
covered tin foil engines and wings
the runway caught fire and ground crew ran yelling
'the white planes are on the horizon'

The pilots assembled in a triangle and bowed there heads for a moment
then woke up their planes
the eye of engines were startled but prepared
for a fire fight with the Spirits.
for a fire fight

I was last in the air
there were twelve green silhouettes
the commander crackled on the radio
the formation came together
and picture frames rattle on the dash
as we approach the six white planes
four of our planes went down

green and red fiery noises echo
watching them fall into the Ocean
the garbled dialect came through the radio
as the Commander fell with them

I landed in a field
my lower body seemed frozen
drank some water from a canteen
lying at the trunk of a Willow
the Sun was rising in the west
a farmer with his horse and plough
approached from a rose light

A rose light.
