Melancholy, aviation, chocolate, perfume, cigarettes
Frequent flyer, stow away, dislocation, sleeping jets
Wave goodbye, feel homesick, tranquilizers, bill of fare
Cry easy, DVT, disappear into thin air

  A(sus2)     Dm7(sus4)  G(sus2)
  We wish you all a very happy pleasant flight
  This is a journey to the center of the night
  And the inflight entertainment's out of sight
  Here on AF607105

Time difference, you're waking, chase the sun into your eyes
Sleeping cities, dust hotel rooms, passengers look to the skies
Fly over your lifetime and never touching down
My heart is breaking somewhere over Saskatchewan

  Refrain

Your life in the wrong hands, Savannah and frozen wastes
The flight path, the wingspan, below the Earth rotates
I love you, I miss you, I cannot see your face
Invent a new persona, drunk here on the edge of space

A  (trou)

  All the things I carry with me and all the things I left behind
  And all the things that wait to meet me hover in the air tonight
  If I can only keep on moving and never stop and think of me
  And freefall through the years and decades, terminal velocity

(couplet instrumental)

  We hope you had a very happy pleasant flight
  This is our final destination so goodnight
  Like a stone we are now falling from the sky
  Farewell from AF607105

The cabin is burning, I smile and feel complete
Here amongst total strangers, 27,000 feet
Suspended isolation, kids throw toy planes in the street
One final blaze of glory viewed from a window seat

A
