Nightmare At 20,000ft
"What you're looking at could be the end of
a particularly
terrifying nightmare. It isn't - it's the beginning!"
"Welcome to hell!"
Sweating on the top line
At the airline
Check-in not check out
Wish I could get the hell out
This is no joke
The thing could go up in smoke
Or plummet to the ground
As the G-force pulls us down
Flight! Fright! Get uptight!
Throw a seven in the clouds and
Out go yer lights
City to city! State to state!
Roasting coast to coast
In a megaton freight crate
Hurtle down the runway
On a one way trip to heaven
Is it hell on wheels in a 747?
I get a little freaky
When there's only air and steel beneath me
"Fasten your seatbelt
We hope you enjoy the ride."
[CHORUS]
Junk metal in the air!
It's a total nightmare
At 20,000 feet!
Junk metal in the air!
It's a total nightmare
At 20,000 feet!
Are you ready for a rough ride?
This could be suicide
Turbulence ahead
I think my lunch
Is on the uprise!
Far out! This dread ain't funky
My hair's on end
There's no blood left in me!
It's not the car or the bus
Or the train! It's the plane
When we hit top speed
It's always the same
Sweating red hot
But chilled to the bone
Side to side
Bouncing round the ozone
Tranquilise me! Hypnotise me!
Technofear has paralyzed me
All around me people grinning
Laughing while my head is spinning
Shakin' like a leaf
From my head to my feet
Strapped to a seat
At 20,000 feet
"It's safer in the air than on the ground!
(x3)
It's safer in the air / Attention! Emergency!"
[CHORUS]
"It's safer in the air than on the ground!
/
Too many planes, too little space /
It's safer in the air than on the ground! /
Too many planes, too little space /
It's safer in the air than on the ground! /
Too many planes, too little space /
It's safer in the air, safer in the air"
"If I ever get my hands on the fucking son
of a bitch who built that
fucking plane, I'll rip his goddamn fucking face off!"
[CHORUS]
Junk metal in the air!
It's a total nightmare
At 20,000 feet!
