Stratford-on-guy Lyrics - Singles - Girlysound

I was flying into Chicago at night 

Watching the lake turn the sky into blue green smoke 

The sun was setting to the left of the plane 

And the cabin was filled with an unearthly glow 

In 27D I was behind the wing 

Watching the landscape roll out 

Like credits on a screen 

I said look, look to your left passengers 

Look, look to your right 

You can pretend that you're here from outer space 

And this, this is your very first sight 

The earth looked like it was lit from within 

Like a big man-made electrical ball 

Out of the farmlands and into the gri 

The plan of a city was all that you saw 

And all of these people sitting totally still 

As the ground raced beneath them thirty thousand feet down 

I said look, look to your left passengers 

Look, look to your right 

You can pretend that you're here from the fifth century 

And this, this is your very first flight 

Then I was pretending that I was in a Galaxie 500 video 

The stewardess came back and checked on my drink 

And I swear that she looked just like Brigitte Bardot 

As I had on my walkman and I had on those eyes 

That you get when your circumstance is movie size 

And I said look, look to your left passengers 

Look, look to your right 

You can pretend the plane's going to crash in 5 minutes 

And this, this is your very last sight 

You better look, look to your left passengers 

Look, look to your right 

Cause I'm going to take this plane out in less than 5 minutes 

And this, this is your very last sight
