I remember, we were flying along,
And hit something in the air...
Laying here, looking at the ceiling,
Someone lays a sheet across my chest.
Something warm is flowing down my fingers
Pain is flowing all through my back.
I try to move my arm and there's no feeling
And when I look, I see there's nothing there.
The face beside me stopped bleeding
The girl I knew has such a distant stare. [ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/b/bloodrock/doa.html ]
I remember, we were flying along,
And hit something in the air.
Then I look straight at the attendant,
His face is pale as it can be.
He bends and whispers something softly,
He says there's no chance for me.
I remember, we were flying along,
And hit something in the air.
Life is flowing out my body,
Pain is flowing out with my blood.
The sheets are red and moist where I'm lying.
God in Heaven, teach me how to die.
I remember, we were flying along,
And hit something in the air.

No mystery guys.. The writer witnessed a friend die in a plane crash as a young man. It inspired this piece of disturbing drek.

The lyrics here say "we were flying along", which isn't the way i remember it. I remember "we were flying low", which was a phrase back then that meant really really speeding, flying speed, but low the ground. Hit something in the air would just be a continuation of the "flying" metaphor.
I thought the song was gruesome, but appealing to me at the time since i didn't drive anywhere but what i wasn't speeding. How my dad put up with all the cars i crashed is beyond me. I listened to the song on denver's kimn radio, but after hearing it only a few times, kimn quit playing it. I never heard it again until tonight i was curious enough to look it by the lyric i remembered, "we were flying low, and hit something in the air". Wow. I'm glad i actually survived the 10 years after graduation.

Actually it was 'we were flying low, and hit something in the air. " according to the guys i talked to at the chaparral club (lackland afb, tx) after they performed there it was about an auto accident involving one of the "big block" cars.
Oh wait !!! No-no-thats a different song by necrogasm out of ft worth... I keep getting my death bands of ridglea mixed up... Sorry.. Nope this is a plane crash... It is pretty self explained... But how does that make you feel? They're dead !!! They are all dead !!! Quick someone hand me a drumset and get this guy a guitar! I think we can save a few!!!
In downtown ft. Worth there is the mixmaster where all the highways come together... The top ramp / interchange from i-35w to i-30 east is about 200 + ft above the ground level. In 1968 this vehicle was hauling buns and lost control this guy that was driving was just" flying" man i mean booking it... Lost control slammed through the guardrail, and bounced off every tier, collumn, lower guardrails and roadways that were at 100-125 ft range before imploding themselves into the concrete embankment below! There was hair, teeth and eyeballs all over the pavement and people were smashing into this vehicle as it bounced off the 60 degree angle concrete embankment on to the oncoming traffic.. And smash its a miracle he lived long enough to make it to the hospital.!! Lll
Absolutely about a plane crash which is more beyond your control than driving a car and more frightening plummeting from high altitude than being in a car. Morbid but can't refrain from listening to every horrid description of the carnage. After all these years i still remember this horrible song!
