| Up in the air, just above the clouds
|
| Looking out the window
|
| Oh what a beautiful sight
|
| Up in the air, way above the ground
|
| Unplug my ears and think
|
| What a terrible sound
|
| That the engines make, it don’t seem right
|
| Being here it don’t make no sense to me
|
| Although I’m up in the air
|
| I can go anywhere, up in the air
|
| Up in the air in an old machine
|
| Black clouds, rain, thunder outside
|
| What a beautiful sight
|
| Up in the air, cheating on gravity
|
| But I’m stuck, stuck in this shell of steel
|
| It ain’t place for me
|
| The noise that the engines make
|
| It don’t seem right
|
| Being here it don’t make no sense to me
|
| Although I’m up in the air
|
| I can go anywhere, but then I see —
|
| The fine line between space and the atmosphere
|
| And suddenly everything makes sense to me
|
| I could go anywhere, without a shell or a care
|
| And when the aeroplane breaks in half
|
| Just leave your body behind
|
| Then we could all float around, no run and hide
|
| No worries up there, save the treasure you’ve found
|
| It’s all yours to keep, in the air — don’t be scared |
