Lacing up our shoes on a bench in the sun I'm putting on my belt in front of everyone Bright blue screens are shouting from the rafters at the crowds "Do you have your boarding pass?" I ask, while thinking of the clouds But the news is too loud We let the crazy people steal the conversation pit There's money to be made off a nation that's been split But we're all in this together, facing forward in our chairs Thinking only of mortality while hanging in the air In the air, in the air Up in the bright blue sky, we've been sleeping Shoulder to shoulder, knee to knee Questioning the schedules we've been keeping Row 23, who can it be, it's you and me You're dozing in the window seat but I can see out if I lean Being careful of your coffee cup, you added too much cream Distorted in the travel we're going faster than it seems Below us grids of farmland stretch as far as I can see Through the clouds, like a dream Up in the bright blue sky, we've been sleeping Shoulder to shoulder, knee to knee Questioning the schedules we've been keeping Row 23, who can it be, it's you and me Returning to the planet all the lines become streets A country full of traffic jams but no one ever meets And we are just the same although we're in a different place Believing that we're grounded while we're spinning into space Space, space, space, space, space
