Skyblaster Man Songtext
von Peter Mayer

Sky Blaster Man

There in the lights of the midway he stands
Mustache and tattoos
Caught in the thralls of his carny dance
Entrancing passersby
Daring that they take a turn on his dangerous ride
Making them see that the magic that he commands
Makes them feel like they′re flying

Sky Blaster Man
Sky Blaster Man


Taking the tickets they have in their hand
Faces like many in the towns along his carnival caravan
Dollar thrill seekers
Brief death defeaters
Come from their comfortable lives
To be spun around and turned upside down
And reminded that they're alive

Sky Blaster Man

To be convinced you′re alive
It's a mighty big job for a three minute ride
So he brings his powers to bear
As if he's in prayer while they′re in the air

And when they land
They stand in a daze and stagger and laugh

And he knows at that time
By the look in their eyes that a few understand
Will they remember?
He wonders as he very carefully helps them all down
As if in his care he′s aware of the much greater
Perils of life on the ground
