John Wesley Harding - Window Seat Lyrics
I was bought on by my mother as her carry-onShe had me in the toilet when the seat-belt sign was onI crawled up to the captain down the other endI hid under the seats thats where I played pretendAnd I ate the wild pretzel and the nuts that fellAnd the screech of brakes was all I knew for my schoolbellAnd I know Ive got the whole world at my feetIn my window seatI learned to eat the sweet, I learned to swallow hardI learned to ease the pressure with free playing cardsSpent my teenage setting off all of the smoke alarmsThen running down the alley saying please stay calmMet the girl in 7b, we tried to settle downBut we couldnt reach the aisle before we hit the groundAnd I know Ive got the whole world at my feetIn my window seatAnd now the sisters of the sky think Im deaf and dumbAs I wait around for upgrades that will never comeBut I know that we will one day sit on his right handBe his automatic pilot when this plane must landAnd the stewardess of babylon will spread her armsAnd show us all a thing or two about her charmsWell be tempted by the devil with the magic wandHell make us stand with arms outstretched then wave us onInto the great beyond (our boarding passes gone)And I know Ive got the whole world at my feetIn my window seat
