is a song by Texas hard rock band Bloodrock released by Capitol Records in early 1971.
In his dying words, he describes in graphic detail what he remembered of the collision and his current condition: his arms have been severed, his co-pilot is already lifeless beside him, blood is rapidly leaving his body and pooling underneath him, and a paramedic indicates that no medical intervention can save him from imminent death.
Ambulance sirens are heard at several points in the song; at the end, the music slows down and drops in key, simulating the narrator's loss of consciousness and death.
He went about 200 feet in the air, rolled and crashed.” The band decided to write a song around the incident and include it on their second album.
[citation needed] Despite a lack of airplay, the single still reached number 36 on the Billboard chart.
