Melancholy, aviation
Chocolate perfume, cigarettes
Frequent flier stow away
Dislocation, sleeping jets
Wave goodbye, feel homesick
Tranquilizers bill of fare
Cry easy, DVT
Disappear into thin air

We wish you all a very happy pleasant flight
This is a journey to the center of the night
And the in-flight entertainment's out of sight
Here on AF
Time difference, you're waking
Chase the sun into your eyes
Sleeping cities, dust hotel rooms
Passengers look to the skies
Fly over your lifetime

And never touching down
My heart is breaking
Somewhere over Saskatchewan
We wish you all a very happy pleasant flight
This is a journey to the center of the night
And the in-flight entertainment's out of sight
Here on AF
Your life in the wrong hands
Savannah and frozen wastes

The flight path, the wingspan
Below the earth rotates
I love you, I miss you
I cannot see your face
Invent a new persona
Drunk here on the edge of space
All the things I carry with me
And all the things I left behind
And all the things that wait to meet me

Hover in the air tonight
If I can only keep on moving
And never stop and think of me
And free fall through the years and decades
Terminal velocity
We hope you had a very happy pleasant flight
This is our final destination so goodnight
Like a stone we are now falling from the sky
Farewell from AF

The cabin is burning
I smile and feel complete
Here amongst total strangers
feet
Suspended isolation
Kids throw toy planes in the street
One final blaze of glory
Viewed from a window seat
