So, a song where someone or something is falling, running and wandering...

Hum, it looks like a very short and catchy Maiden song called Aces High where the pilot is running, scrambling, flying, rolling, turning, diving and going in again... ;)

Clue 3:
The song is neither the shortest or the longest on the album where it belongs. Whether it's "catchy" or not is probably a more open question, but it's no Wasted Years (in my humble opinion).


All good songs, but not the one: Run to the Hills, The Trooper, Aces High, Running Free, Phantom of the Opera, Be Quick or Be Dead, Wasted Years
