Fly By Night/in The Mood Lyrics - Rush

Prologue: 

"Airport scurry flurry faces 

Parade of passers by 

People going many places 

With a smile or just a sigh 

Waiting waiting pass the time 

Another cigarette 

Get in line - gate thirty-nine 

The time is not here yet..." 

Why try? I know why 

The feeling inside me says it's time I was gone 

Clear head, new life ahead 

I want to be king now not just one more pawn

Chorus: 

Fly by night, away from here 

Change my life again 

Fly by night goodbye my dear 

My ship isn't coming and I just can't pretend 

Moon rise, thoughtful eyes 

Staring back at me from the window beside 

No fright or hindsight 

Leaving behind that empty feeling inside 

Start a new chapter 

Find what I'm after 

It's changing every day 

The change of a season 

Is enough of a reason 

To want to get away 

Photos 

The other part: 

Quiet and pensive 

My thoughts apprehensive 

The hours drift away 

Leaving my homeland 

Playing a lone hand 

My life begins today
