Girlysound - Stratford-on-guy lyrics

rate me

I was flying into Chicago at night<br />

Watching the lake turn the sky into blue green smoke<br />

The sun was setting to the left of the plane<br />

And the cabin was filled with an unearthly glow<br />

In 27D I was behind the wing<br />

Watching the landscape roll out<br />

Like credits on a screen<br />

<br />

I said look, look to your left passengers<br />

Look, look to your right<br />

You can pretend that you're here from outer space<br />

And this, this is your very first sight<br />

<br />

The earth looked like it was lit from within<br />

Like a big man-made electrical ball<br />

Out of the farmlands and into the gri<br />

The plan of a city was all that you saw<br />

And all of these people sitting totally still<br />

As the ground raced beneath them thirty thousand feet down<br />

<br />

I said look, look to your left passengers<br />

Look, look to your right<br />

You can pretend that you're here from the fifth century<br />

And this, this is your very first flight<br />

<br />

Then I was pretending that I was in a Galaxie 500 video<br />

The stewardess came back and checked on my drink<br />

And I swear that she looked just like Brigitte Bardot<br />

As I had on my walkman and I had on those eyes<br />

That you get when your circumstance is movie size<br />

<br />

And I said look, look to your left passengers<br />

Look, look to your right<br />

You can pretend the plane's going to crash in 5 minutes<br />

And this, this is your very last sight<br />

<br />

You better look, look to your left passengers<br />

Look, look to your right<br />

Cause I'm going to take this plane out in less than 5 minutes<br />

And this, this is your very last sight
