Plane to a Dead Man

from Eight Weeks West by Eyes Like The Sky

about

Concerning a flight to New York City, and that first night in the Corpulent Apple.

lyrics

Hello Terminal Five, I waved farewell to my father
I left a job, two cats and a mother, sister, brother
I dropped the cans onto my ears, relaxed with a shitty movie
We drank cheap orange juice from cups and cheers'd to the future

I'm on a plane to a dead man, a plane to a dead man's port

I couldn't see the sea below, as the dark night surrounded me
Then the orange lights seeped in, and it was home and I wasn't scared

I'm on a plane to a dead man, a plane to a dead man's port

With it's streets arranged in grids, and endless pissed off drivers
All the little tourists lost, how I want to go back

I'm on a plane to a dead man, a plane to a dead man's port
