Lost and found.
I lost something today.
But found some self-knowledge, and maybe gained even more than that.
Purified. Without.

More seemingly random song lyrics.
(The song is obviously about flying, but can be re-appropriated to another, more ground based activity
) And this time very much directed at Mr “Slow Rider” Snark:
I don’t feel fear or panic
And nothing brings me down
I’m an aerospaceage warrior
I can fly sideways through sound
My reflexes and reactions
Are as fast as a machine
I’m the right stuff baby
The right stuff
I’m the right stuff baby
The right stuff
Just watch my trail
When the dial needle flickers
Around mach one or two
And something happens suddenly
I know exactly what to do
My hands move without thinking
And my feet like lightning too
I’m the right stuff baby
The right stuff
The right stuff baby
The right stuff
I never fail
My nerves are made of steel
And my eyes are eagle sharp
And what would freak the average man
Does not affect my heart
Not even if this jinxy jet
Should shake itself apart
’cause I’m the right stuff baby
The right stuff
The right stuff baby
The right stuff
As hard as nails
I never fail
Just watch my trail
(Robert Calvert, from ”Captain Lockheed and the Starfighters, 1977)
