They're warming up the chopper getting ready to go 
Count down to zero hour
Flight plan checked, all the luggage on deck
Awaiting clearance from the tower
I took a minute or two to send a message to you
'cause you know I've got the power
It's no time to whisper in your ear
I'll say it loud and clear 
Are you listening?
See ya later I'm gettin' outa here
I'll see ya later I'm so outa here
You know you won't catch me complaining
I've been treated like a king
And I've never been one to overstay my welcome
I've got a sense for these things
I hit the heights shooting out the lights
Had the world on a string
Obligations are behind me now
Is it time to take a bow?
I don't think so
See ya later…
This is the wind-up Looks like our time's up
It's been a real good ride
Spare me the send-off
I'll take the hand-off and go all the way
See ya later
