I was brought on by my mother as her carry-on She had me in the toilet When the seat-belt sign was on And I crawled up to the captain at the other end And I hid under the seats That's where I played pretend And I ate the wild pretzel And the nuts that fell And the sound of brakes was all I knew For my school bell And I know I've got the whole world at my feet In my window seat In my window seat Well, I learned to eat the sweet I learned to swallow hard I learned to ease the pressure with free playing cards Spent my teenage setting off all of the smoke alarms Then running to the cabin saying "please stay calm" I met the girl in seven B We tried to settle down But we couldn't make the aisle before we hit the ground Hit the ground And I know I've got the whole world at my feet In my window seat In my window seat A window seat Well now the sisters of the sky think I am deaf and dumb As I wait around for meals that will never come But I know that we will one day sit on his right hand Be his automatic pilot when this plane must land And the stewardess of Babylon will spread her arms She'll show us all a thing or two about her charms We'd been tempted by the devil with the magic wand He made us stand with arms outstretched And then he waved us on Into the great beyond And I know I've got the whole world at my feet In my window seat In my window seat A window seat A window seat
