Just like a marvel of history

We were ahead of our time

An installation at Ripley′sHow we ended a mystery

An unexpected decline

As we strapped in for take off

Our love was ready to take flight

'Cause nobody could stop us

The air traffic controllers flew-by-night

We were approaching speeds of Mach 2

Sonic boom, slicing the sky

Smashing all of the windows of the homes we passed by

If you asked me forever, well we gave it a try

But we′re on our way down

The economics were misty

Perhaps the cost was too high

Gave too much to industry

Treated you unfairly

Priorities mis-aligned

Once we fired up the thrusters

We left all our problems behind

Nobody could've stopped us

We were faster than anyone could find

We were approaching speeds of Mach 2

Sonic boom, slicing the sky

Smashing all of the windows of the homes we passed by

If you asked me forever, well we gave it a try

But we're on our way down

We were approaching speeds of Mach 2

Sonic boom, slicing the sky

Smashing all of the windows of the homes we passed by

To tell you that I′m sorry I made you cry

But there′s no turning back now

There's no turning back now

Was always glad to count on you as co-captain

We had some great times up in the sky

But the time has come for us to say bye

Was always glad to count on you as co-captain

We had some great times up in the sky

But the time has come for us to say bye

Was always glad to count on you as co-captain

We had some great times up in the sky

But the time has come for us to say bye

Was always glad to count on you as co-captain

We had some great times up in the sky

But the time has come for us to say bye

Hey-hey-hey hey-yeah

Hey-hey-hey hey-yeah

Hey-hey-hey hey-yeah

Hey-hey-hey hey-yeah
