lyrics

Blank stare and going 95
Countless miles and a million state lines
An empty chair in the passenger seat
Foreign letters with words that I can’t read
What a miracle of modern machines
I’m in a ten ton bird flying with metal wings
from 30,000 feet
From up here I can finally feel complete

They don’t make baggage like they used to
Twice as heavy but with handles that come lose

Blaring noises and people screaming
Crying babies with no one listening
to the pilot as he says everyone stay calm
Lovers intertwined in the bathroom
Perfect strangers kiss as if on cue
All aware they’ll met certain harm
At least they’ll go out in each others arms

Dead babies on the evening news
Right before the Soxs and Patriots lose

Water floods in
As the radio blares I’m sorry for all this
Thank you for flying with us
Thank you for dying with us
I hope you were right about the afterlife
I’ve heard a couple of stories I don’t like
Worlds of both fire and ice
Starts to make darkness look pretty nice
