Window Seat Lyrics

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
