lyrics

Well I skimmed the surface but I stayed on top
Floated there like a boat that dropped
They looked at me like I was insane
I’m the first man to ever land a seaplane

Birds came up, dolphins too
They wondered what this machine might do
Radio called from New York and L.A
To the first man to ever land a seaplane

Maps and measures they fall away into the sea
Birds of paradise and birds of prey they looks the same all look the same

There’s some kind of light when you smile like you do
The airs all white and the water’s all blue
There’s some kind of light when you call my name
Like I’m the first man to ever land a seaplane
