I wouldn’t guess Steve Miller to be privy to this, but why not I guess…but lo and behold it started in 1969 while hanging with the Beatles.

I want to fly like an eagle
To the sea
Fly like an eagle
Let my spirit carry me
I want to fly like an eagle
‘Til I’m free
Fly through the revolution
Time keeps on slippin’, slippin’, slippin’
Into the future
Time keeps on slippin’, slippin’, slippin’
Into the future
Written with Paul McCartney in 1969
My dark hour
My dark hour
You know it’s drivin’ me wild
Well, well, I went (To see the doctor)
And I had (My fortune read)
And you know (The doctor told me)
“Son, you better stay in bed”
Who’s that comin’ a-down that road
Looks like he’s carryin’ a heavy load
What’s that word that he started to say?
“Wanna come with me on my way?”
My dark hour
Mother nature’s child
My dark hour
Oh, it’s drivin’ me wild
Well, I went (To see the doctor)
Just to have (My fortune read)
Well, well, well, well, well
(The doctor told me)
“Son, you better stay in bed”
So do you think these sinners will fall
Or do you think they’ll survive us all?
Well, well, well, well, a-down this road
Won’t you help me carry my load?
My dark hour
Mother nature’s child
My dark hour
Oh, it’s drivin’ me wild
Oh, mother nature’s child
Oh, yeah
Oh, oh, yeah
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, yeah…
