The day we left I read about this ghost plane cruising over Canada
It happened so fast four hours passed before anyone knew they were dead
I think the windows blew or something, autopilot kicked in, on they went
All they did was what they were told, put on their seat belts, put out their cigarettes

I'm sure I've seen this film before, in fact I think we're on the same plane
I know the crash instructions off by heart. I didn't listen this time
But what if they're different? Quick hand me the leaflet

Look that's us up there, they've been trying to get us on radio for hours
The pressure's punched my face in. I'm too busy poring through magazines to notice
I forgot to tell you so much but look outside, the ground is getting bigger

There's an oxygen mask on my face, the instructions say help yourself first
But there's no one to help if I wanted to, I am out like a light and you're gone
They say it definitely was not a bomb and there is definitely no one to blame
So won't you tell me who am I supposed to shout at. Won't you tell where I go to complain
For all those times when the windows blow in and the instructions just can't explain why
I am trapped like a corpse in a ghost plane as you disappear into the sky
Head down between your knees, you will find your life strapped beneath your seat
So hold on to it like a baby while she talks you down from 20,000 ft
Talks you down from 20,000 ft
