Riding on the moonpath
in the silver of the night
The fragrance on the air
was of another time
I cried in all my innocence
you were dressed in white
and even if I'd had the strength
I couldn't move to save my life

The fear and the thrill
of the beast at the window
The shivers and the chills
on the hottest of nights
he walked right through
my open door
As I began to run, he threw
some gold upon the floor, and said
There's plenty more
where that came from

I'm tired of the bombs
I'm tired of the bullets
I'm tired of the crazies on TV
I'm the aviator
A dream's a dream whatever it seems

I flew along the lighted street
I flew above the town
I flew in ever rising circles
ever further from the ground
As I begin to lose my breath
printed faxes turn a spin
A distant corner of the room
will open up and let me in

I'm tired of the news
I'm tired of the weather
I'm tired of the same thing every day
I'm the aviator
A dream's a dream whatever they say

  • Such a great song. Definitely one of the highlights of their later albums.

    I always imagine Bruce Dickinson (Iron Maiden) loving this song. I say that because 1) he is a licensed pilot, and 2) he has repeatedly noted Ian Gillan as his favorite singer and as a huge influence on him (I especially hear it when listening back to the albums "Who Do We Think We Are", and "Perfect Strangers").

  • BTW: The lyrics are incorrect (wrong).

  • Perpendicular is Deep Purple's best venture. Sorry, Ritchie.

  • Very Nice song

  • great song in a masterpiece album...surely one of their best....icredible ideas and playing...nothing to envy from mk2, just different...

  • I agree that mark 2 was the best, but this is awesome! Steve isn't Ritchie, but he is a fantastic guitarist!

  • Thumbs up! Great song from a underrated DP album.

  • is this realy deep purple?

    it"s sounds so different from their other songs..

    keep on rocking anyway

    peace

  • This is supreme!

  • awesome! one of the best mk7 song!
