about

“There was a time in my turbulent twenties when I felt like I was living in a Carnival Hall of Mirrors. That’s where the seeds of this song were planted. It became a part of a personal mythology that emerged from dealing with that whole experience.” Riley Jordan

lyrics

Cheap motel, Barkly Street
she fell asleep, to the sound of pin ball machines
laughing voices, wafted up
gratified halls and into her soaring dreams

She's comin’ in, she's flying low -
she's come about, all systems go
she can defy gravity

O-five hundred, she's wide awake, listening
as lovers declare their undying embrace
through plaster and sky blue paint

She earned wings, dead reckoning, in Alice Springs
now she travels the skies
hits landfall at night
till she starts her engines again

She's comin’ in, she's diving deep
she understands, she checks her speed
she reads the land, without within
she's touching down, knowing that
she can defy gravity

She's lifting off, wash out wash in
horizons gone, she’s climbing steep
she reads the sky, without within
she's looping back and spiralling
she can defy – gravity
