Hey Eugene this is Henry McLean an' I finished my beautiful flying machine An' I'm ringing to say that I'm leaving An' maybe you'd like to fly with me and hide with me baby Isn't it strange how little we change isn't it sad we're insane Playing the game that we know ends in tears The game we've been playing for thousands and thousands and thousands Jumps into his cosmic flyer "Pull this plastic glider higher Light the fuse and stand well back" he cried "This is my last goodbye." Point me at the sky and let it fly Point me at the sky and let it fly Point me at the sky and let it fly.... And if you survive 'till two thousand and five I hope you're exceedingly thin For if you are stout you will have to breathe out While the people around you breathe in breathe in breathe in People pressing on my sides is something that I hate And so is sitting down to eat with only little capsules on my plate Point me at the sky and let it fly Point me at the sky and let it fly Point me at the sky and let it fly... All we've got to say to you is goodbye Time flew by while you were sitting on your bag It's goodbye Hey Eugene look at the screen It's goodbye We can hang out of the way It's goodbye Clang Clang Flap Flap

À propos de la chanson

Dans cette chanson, un homme parle à un ami de sa nouvelle invention, une machine volante, et lui propose de l'accompagner dans cette aventure. Il exprime un sentiment de désillusion face à la vie, soulignant combien les gens restent souvent coincés dans des routines qui ne changent guère. Il évoque l'envie de s'élever au-dessus de la banalité et un profond désir de liberté, tout en abordant des thèmes d'angoisse et de séparation. Le contexte semble ancré dans une réflexion pessimiste sur le futur, où le protagoniste souhaite échapper à une existence qui lui pèse. Les références à l'anxiété de la société moderne, comme le besoin de se conformer, montrent une profonde quête de sens et d'évasion. Cela témoigne d'une lutte interne face à l'absurdité de la vie.
