Five Miles Out Lyrics by Mike Oldfield

Five Miles Out

What do you do when your falling,
Youve got 30 degrees and youre stalling out?
And its 24 miles to your beacon;
Theres a crack in the sky and the warnings out.


Dont take that dive again!
Push through that band of rain!


Five miles out,
Just hold your heading true.
Got to get your finest out.
Youre number 1, anticipating you.


Climbing out.
Just hold your heading true.
Got to get your finest out.
Youre number 1, anticipating you.


Mayday! mayday! mayday!
Calling all stations!
This is golf-mike-oscar-victor-juliet
Imc cu.nimb...icing,
In great difficulty, over.


The traffic controller is calling,
"victor-juliet, your identity.
I have you lost in the violent storm!
Communicate or squawk emergency!"


Dont take that dive again!
Push through that band of rain!


Lost in static, 18,
And the storm is closing in now.
Automatic, 18!
[got to push through!] trapped in living hell!


Your a prisoner of the dark sky,
The propeller blades are still!
And the evil eye of the hurricanes
Coming in now for the kill.


Our hopes with you,
Rider in the blue.
Welcomes waiting, were anticipating
Youll be celebrating, when youre down and braking.


Climbing out.
[climbing, climbing]
Five miles out.
[climbing, climbing]


Five miles out,
Just hold your heading true.
Got to get your finest out....
[climbing, climbing]


Five miles out,
Just hold your heading true.
Got to get your finest out....
[climbing, climbing]


Climbing out.
Just hold your heading true.
Got to get your finest out....
[climbing, climbing]


Five miles out,
Just hold your heading true.
Got to get your finest out....
[climbing, climbing]


Climbing out.
Just hold your heading true.
Got to get your finest out....
[climbing, climbing]


Climbing out.
Just hold your heading true.
Got to get your finest out....
