In The Slipstream

about

A bumpy night crossing the Pacific Ocean.

lyrics

My unease is growing
My fears are on the rise
The altitude’s increasing
The plane is soaring high
My heart is in my mouth
I think I’m gonna die

It’s twelve hours of flying
But I’m on my way
To the Land of Freedom
That’s what they say
I’ll be stamped and processed
Treated like a crim
They’ll make me sign my rights away
It’s gonna be grim

I’m thinking about the dollar
How long’s it gonna last?
Will it slide down slow
Or come crashing down fast?

Do you ever wonder
About the scheme of things?
About your tattered empire
And its tarnished dreams?
Just how long do you think it’ll last?

The plane lurches sideways
It’s a bumpy flight
Here we go again
It’s gonna be a sleepless night
Sitting here watching
Yet another awful film
While everything around me
Feels like a dream

My thoughts meander
My brain has lost the plot
It’s getting hard to think
My head’s a vacant lot
You say you’ll never leave
You say you’ll always care
You’ll always be there for me
Even when I’m not there

You are my country
You are my land
You mean more to me
Than some bloody flag
And I wouldn’t do this
For anyone else
