[Verse 1] The night doesn't like it Looks just like your face on the moon to me And I won't let you do what you want to do It's funny how, even now You're laughing [Refrain] I won't let you do it [Verse 2] If you go, I'll let the law know And they'll head you off when you touch the ground Ooh, please, don't go through with this I don't like the sound of it It's funny how, even now You're miles away [Refrain] I won't let you do it I won't let you do it I won't let you go through with it [Pre-Chorus 1] “Meet them over at Dover I'll just pilot the motor Take them over the water [Chorus] With a hired plane And no names mentioned Tonight's the night of the flight Before you know I'll be over the water like a swallow There's no risk I'll whisk them up in no moonlight And though pigs can fly They'll never find me posing as the night And I'm home before the morning” [Verse 3] In Malta, catch a swallow For all of the guilty – to let them free Wings fill the window And they beat and bleed They hold the sky on the other side Of borderlines [Refrain] I won't let you do it I won't let you do it I won't let you go through with it [Pre-Chorus 2] “Meet them over at Dover I'll just pilot the motor Take them over the water Like a swallow flying to Malta [Chorus] With a hired plane And no names mentioned Tonight's the night of the flight Before you know I'll be over the water like a swallow There's no risk I'll whisk them up in no moonlight And though pigs can fly They'll never find me posing as the night And I'm home before the morning” [Bridge] “Give me a break! Ooh, let me fly! Give me something to show for my miserable life! Something to take! Would you break even my wings like a swallow?” [Chorus] Let me, let me go “With a hired plane And no names mentioned Tonight's the night of the flight Before you know I'll be over the water like a swallow There's no risk I'll whisk them up in no moonlight And though pigs can fly They'll never find me posing as the night And I'm home before the morning” [Chorus] Let me, let me go “With a hired plane And no names mentioned Tonight's the night of the flight Before you know I'll be over the water like a swallow” Let me, let me go “There's no risk I'll whisk them up in no moonlight And though pigs can fly They'll never find me posing as the night Like a swallow And I'm home before the morning” [Outro] But you're not a swallow

Let me fly!
