Another directionless attempt at a single from a floundering post-Syd Floyd. It sounds to me like the use of the flying metaphor was an attempt to obliquely maintain the "voyaging" quality of some of Syd's lyrics (Astronomy Domine, Flaming), as Waters had previously done on "Let There Be More Light." Other than that, there's not a lot here—Waters obviously isn't writing from any kind of conviction and the attempts at whimsy fall flat. Too bad—"Point Me at the Sky" is a good name for a song; it deserved better treatment.
