I was flying into Chicago at night Watching the lake
turn the sky into blue green smoke The sun was setting
to the left of the plane And the cabin was filled with
an unearthly glow In 27D I was behind the wing Watching
the landscape roll out Like credits on a screen I said
look, look to your left passengers Look,
look to your right You can pretend that you're here
from outer space And this,
this is your very first sight The earth looked like
it was lit from within Like a big man-made electrical
ball Out of the farmlands and into the griThe plan
of a city was all that you saw And all of these people
sitting totally still As the ground raced beneath them
thirty thousand feet down I said look,
look to your left passengers Look,
look to your right You can pretend that you're here
from the fifth century And this,
this is your very first flight Then I was pretending
that I was in a Galaxie 500 video The stewardess came
back and checked on my drink And I swear that she looked
just like Brigitte Bardot As I had on my walkman and
I had on those eyes That you get when your circumstance
is movie size And I said look,
look to your left passengers Look,
look to your right You can pretend the plane's going
to crash in 5 minutes And this,
this is your very last sight You better look,
look to your left passengers Look,
look to your right Cause I'm going to take this plane
out in less than 5 minutes And this, this is your very last sight
