Window Seat - Live at Union Hall

I was brought on by my mother
As her carry-on
She had me in the toilet
When the seat belt sign was on
I crawled up to the captain
Down the other end
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

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 down the alley
Saying "Please stay calm!"
Met the girl in 7B
We tried to settle down
But we couldn't reach the aisle
Before we hit the ground
And I know I've got the whole world
At my feet
In my window seat

And now the sisters of the sky
Think I am deaf and dumb
As I wait around for upgrades
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
And show us all a thing or two
About her charms
We'll be tempted by the devil
With the magic wand
He'll make us stand with arms outstretched
Then wave us on
Into the great beyond
Our boarding passes gone
And I know I've got the whole world
At my feet
In my window seat
