Up in the air, just above the clouds
Looking out the window
Oh, what a beautiful sight
Up in the air, way above the ground
Unplug my ears, and I think
What a terrible sound
That the engines make, it don't seem right
Being here, it don't make no sense to me
Though I'm up in the air
I can't go anywhere, up in the air
Up in the air in an old machine
Black clouds, rain, thunder outside
What a beautiful scene
Up in the air, cheated on gravity
But I'm stuck, stuck in this shell of steel
It ain't a place for me
The noise that the engines make
It don't seem right
Being here, it don't make no sense to me
Though I'm up in the air
I can't go anywhere, but then I see
The fine line between space and the atmosphere
And suddenly everything makes sense to me
I could go anywhere, without a shell or a care
And when the aeroplane breaks in half
Just leave your body behind
We could all float around, no run and hide
No worries up there
Just save the treasure you've found
It's all yours to keep, in the air
Don't be scared
The noise that the engines make
It don't seem right
Being here, it don't make no sense to me
Though I'm up in the air
I can't go anywhere, but then I see
The fine line between space and the atmosphere
And suddenly everything makes sense to me
I could go anywhere, without a shell or a care
