Circling Overland


1-1-2029, the stars are shining bright
nerves connected to the center, we are tied to the machine
invisible and silent, circling overland
the plane makers designed us to out-turn and outmaneuver
intruders in the skies, intruders in our skies

1-1-2029, tonight the stars are shining bright

backbone of the fighter force, of the defense industry
devoted tools of the power, warrants of the order
1-1-2029, tonight the stars are shining bright
invisible and silent, we are circling overland
circling overland, circling overland
silicon advisers leading the way
we reach our cruising altitude
1-1-2029, west europe, midnight
invisible and silent, circling overland
scanning, taping, filing, instantly checking
every human, car, and plane of the quarters we survey
circling overland
circling overland
