Hawkwind - Kadu Flyer lyrics

rate me

I want to try, I want to be me

I want to get high, I want to see

I want to fly, I want to be free

I take the trail from Katmandu

With a different kind of trip in view

Everest is behind the town

Mountain High-bound to get higher

My glider, I'm the Kadu Flyer

Cygnus of the skies, the prize

And I will rise to win it

Never fly through a cloud

if there's a mountain in it

My route is by the steep ascent

Do battle with the elements

weeks of peril yes freezing winds

Downdraft dangers want to drag me down

My straining ailerons the only sound

I'm carried by the keening wind, with the dandelions glide

Everest, I'll never rest

I'll see you a mogul when I'm high

Crawl the thermal up a mountain

Like the Pteradacyl's wings

Waves of lift and wing vibrations

Help me to invoke the sun

True me up in soaring fun

Rising like the phoenix

In full flight from the fire

A dragon wing of string and sticks

Gliding higher and higher and higher
