The Smell of Kerosene Lyrics

I like the smell of kerosene

The frequent flyers' magazines

I like the way the flight attendants stand at attention

For safety instructions

I like the lounges

With all the free booze and the munchies

CNN on their TV screens

I like the take offs and the landings

And all the flying in between

I like the smell of Duty Free

Chocolate, Chanel and luxury

But most of all, I like your smile when I get home

I like your arms where I get warm

I like how tiny the world is

When I see it from the sky

Aye, aye, aye, aye, aye, aye

I like how beautiful it looks

When I see it through your eyes

Aye, aye, aye, aye, aye, aye

I like it way up in the air

When I am neither here nor there

I like how high I am my two feet on the ground

When I'm by your side

Aye, aye, aye, aye, aye, aye

I like a jet plane at the gate

I like to board, I like to wait

I like a jet plane in the sky

The tiny seats, how they recline

But in the end, much as I like when we ascend

I long for you until we land

I like the way my bag is hard to tell

At the luggage carousel

Aye, aye, aye, aye, aye, aye

I like the way the dorky shuttles

Take the exhausted to their hotel

Aye, aye, aye, aye, aye, aye

I like it way up in the air

When I am neither here nor there

I like the jet lag

How it makes me fall asleep at 10am

Aye, aye, aye, aye, aye, aye

I like how we get closer

30 thousand feet above the ground

Aye, aye, aye, aye, aye, aye

I like being your lover

After the Uber driver gets me home

Aye, aye, aye, aye, aye, aye

I like an ice-cold lager beer

But that is neither there nor here

I'd like to stay home with you forever

And never take another flight

Aye, aye, aye, aye, aye, aye
