BREAK MY MIND

Tell the man at the ticket stand
That you've changed your mind
Well, let me run on out and tell the cab
To keep the meter flying

'Cause if you say goodbye to me, baby
You know you're gonna break my mind

Break my mind, break my mind
I know I just can't stand to hear
The big jet engines whine

Break my mind, break my mind, oh, Lord
If you leave you're gonna leave
A babbling fool behind

Let me take your suitcase off
Of them scales in time
Tell the man that you suddenly developed
A thing about flying

'Cause if you say goodbye to me, baby
You know you're gonna break my mind

BURNING BALLOON DREAM 1916

At the beginning of September 1916, the LZ98 joined twelve other army and navy airships in a united action against London.  Over the metropolis I made the unpleasant discovery that the English had still further improved their defense system and now sent veritable hornet-swarms of single-seater combat planes against us.  Amid heavy losses of men and material, their fliers had learned to attack at night also, and their machine guns showered us with incendiary bullets.  As long as an airship flew in the dark, it was almost invisible to the enemy; but once in the clutches of a searchlight, it could be seen for miles.  In the protection of the night, the little combat planes stole unnoticed upon the enormous targets, which were at least one hundred times as large as they, and they were often within shooting distance before the German machine-gunners could open fire. A single hit in one of the gas chambers sufficed to destroy the airship and its crew.
