No step

I looked out of my window, saw stencilled black,
No step, no step.
There were nervous mothers with children crying in the back.
No step, no step.
Someone bought me my ticket, now I'm on the wing.
Hope my angels are watching me, do I hear them sing?
No step, no step.
Those afterburners cut in and kicked us high.
No step, no step.
The thin air shimmered, the sun cut through and burned my eye.
No step, no step.
Someone bought me my ticket, now I'm on the wing.
Hope my angels are watching me, do I hear them sing?
No step, no step, no step.
No step, no step, no step, no step.
Give me a jet stream schooner or a crew-lagged goose.
No step, no step.
I'm a clear-air jockey when they turn me loose
No step, no step.
Someone bought me my ticket to the captain's seat.
Will the shakes soon leave me, will I find my feet?
No step, no step, no step.
No step, no step.
