Window Seat Lyrics

Window SeatI was bought on by my mother as her carry-onShe had me in the toilet when the seat-belt sign was onI crawled up to the captain down the other endI hid under the seats that's where I played pretendAnd I ate the wild pretzel and the nuts that fellAnd the screech of brakes was all I knew for my schoolbellAnd I know I've got the whole world at my feetIn my window seatI learned to eat the sweet, I learned to swallow hardI learned to ease the pressure with free playing cardsSpent my teenage setting off all of the smoke alarmsThen running down the alley saying "please stay calm"Met the girl in 7B, we tried to settle downBut we couldn't reach the aisle before we hit the groundAnd I know I've got the whole world at my feetIn my window seatAnd now the sisters of the sky think I'm deaf and dumbAs I wait around for upgrades that will never comeBut I know that we will one day sit on his right handBe his automatic pilot when this plane must landAnd the stewardess of Babylon will spread her armsAnd show us all a thing or two about her charmsWe'll be tempted by the devil with the magic wandHe'll make us stand with arms outstretched then wave us onInto the great beoynd (our boarding passes gone)And I know I've got the whole world at my feetIn my window seat
