Songs that mention anything that could "fly"

[PollyannaMom]

"Believe it or Not" (theme song from "The Greatest American Hero")

Look at what's happened to me,
I can't believe it myself.
Suddenly I'm up on top of the world,
It should've been somebody else.

Believe it or not,
I'm walking on air.
I never thought I could feel so free-
Flying away on a wing and a prayer.
Who could it be?
Believe it or not it's just me.

Just like a light of a new day,
It hit me from out of the blue.
Breaking me out of the spell I was in,
Making all of my wishes come true.

Believe it or not,
I'm walking on air.
I never thought I could feel so free-
Flying away on a wing and a prayer.
Who could it be?
Believe it or not it's just me.

Space Oddity - David Bowie

Ground Control to Major Tom
Ground Control to Major Tom
Take your protein pills and put your helmet on
Ground Control to Major Tom (ten, nine, eight, seven, six)
Commencing countdown, engines on (five, four, three)
Check ignition and may God's love be with you (two, one, liftoff)
This is Ground Control to Major Tom
You've really made the grade
And the papers want to know whose shirts you wear
Now it's time to leave the capsule if you dare
"This is Major Tom to Ground Control
I'm stepping through the door
And I'm floating in a most peculiar way
And the stars look very different today
For here
Am I sitting in a tin can
Far above the world
Planet Earth is blue
And there's nothing I can do
Though I'm past one hundred thousand miles
I'm feeling very still
And I think my spaceship knows which way to go
Tell my wife I love her very much she knows
Ground Control to Major Tom
Your circuit's dead, there's something wrong
Can you hear me, Major Tom?
Can you hear me, Major Tom?
Can you hear me, Major Tom?
Can you "Here am I floating 'round my tin can
Far above the moon
Planet Earth is blue
And there's nothing I can do"

99 Luft Balloons - Nena

You and I in a little toy shop
Buy a bag of balloons with the money we've got
Set them free at the break of dawn
'til one by one they were gone
Back at base bugs in the software
Flash the message: "something's out there!"
Floating in the summer sky
Ninety-nine red balloons go by

Ninety-nine red balloons
Floating in the summer sky
Panic bells, it's red alert
There's something here from somewhere else
The war machine springs to life
Opens up one eager eye
Focusing it on the sky
Where ninety-nine red balloons go by

Ninety-nine decision street
Ninety-nine ministers meet
To worry, worry, super scurry
Call the troops out in a hurry
This is what we've waited for
This is it, boys, this is war
The president is on the line
As ninety-nine red balloons go by

Ninety-nine knights of the air
Ride super high-tech jet fighters
Everyone's a super hero
Everyone's a captain kirk
With orders to identify
To clarify and classify
Scramble in the summer sky
Ninety-nine red balloons go by

As ninety-nine red balloons go by

Ninety-nine dreams I have had
In every one a red balloon
It's all over and I'm standing pretty
In this dust that was a city
If I could find a souvenir
Just to prove the world was here
And here is a red balloon
I think of you, and let it go

Space Station Number 5 - Montrose


Start with the sun and move on out
The future's in the skies above
The heavens unfold and a new star is born
Space and time makin' love

Oh, what a time we had living on the ground
I've moved to station no. 5, see you next time around
Next time around, oh yeah

As far you want, as close as you need
It's all in the mind, you know
Oh, this old world hasn't really seen it's day
It's here, time to go

Oh, what a time we had living on the ground
I've moved to station no. 5, see you next time around

Remember when it was so clear
We were young, but the memory still remains
To pick fruit from a tree, fish from the seas
Now nothing's left here, but the stains

Well, I can't cry no more, can only be glad
There's other places we can be
If the time suits you right, I'm leaving tonight
Come fly away with with me
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, oh yeah

Start with the sun and move on out
The future's in the skies above
The heavens unfold, a new star is born
Space and time makin' love

Oh, what a time we had living on the ground
I've moved to station no. 5, see you next time around
Next time around, yeah, yeah

Took my chances on a big jet plane.
Never ever let them tell you they're all the same.
