This song is about a flight from Las Vegas, Nevada to Tucson, Arizona (where the album was recorded). Most of the song’s imagery describes the expansion of human technology and the toll it takes on both humanity and nature as a whole.
What?
Stars can't fight city lights
They've turned their backs on us
It's true today, I saw it from the plane
Aeroplanes were never built to fly
Down, down, down, down
Down, down, down, down, down, down
Don't look down
Don't look now
Crosshairs of our shadow trace the dam
Told that there were people trapped alive
Boulder City looks like coals in the fire
Cabin's perched by satellites
And now we're flying blind
We've got a lady pilot
She's not afraid to die
It's true today, I saw it from the plane
We've almost finished reeling in the sky
Power lines once laced the heavens
Pima County looks like coals in the fire
