[00:11.76]I was flying into Chicago at night
[00:16.40]Watching the lake turn the sky into blue-green smoke
[00:22.37]The sun was setting to the left of the plane
[00:27.56]And the cabin was filled with an unearthly glow
[00:33.96]In 27-D, I was behind the wing
[00:38.44]Watching the landscape roll out like credits on a screen
[00:43.87]And I said, "look, look to your left, passengers
[00:49.84]Look, look to your right
[00:55.12]You can pretend that you're here from outer space
[01:00.94]And this, this is your very first sight"
[01:06.20]The earth looked like it was lit from within
[01:11.66]Like a big manmade electrical ball
[01:17.63]As we moved out of the farmlands and into the grid
[01:22.65]The plan of a city was all that you saw
[01:28.20]And all of these people sitting totally still
[01:33.76]As the ground raced beneath them 30,000 feet down
[01:39.25]And I said, "look, look to your left, passengers
[01:44.57]Look, look to your right
[01:49.53]You can pretend that you're here from the fifth century
[01:55.50]And this, this is your very first flight"
[02:01.52]And I was pretending that I was in a Galaxie 500 video
[02:11.85]The stewardess came back and checked on my drink
[02:17.47]And I swear that she looked just like Brigitte Bardot
[02:23.33]As I had on my walkman, and I had on those eyes
[02:28.70]That you get when your circumstance is movie-size
[02:34.18]And I said, "look, look to your left, passengers
[02:39.56]Look, look to your right
[02:45.04]You can pretend that the plane's going to crash in five minutes
[02:50.12]And this, this is your very last sight"
[02:55.36]"You'd better look, look to your left, passengers
[03:00.90]You'd better look, look to your right
[03:05.70]Cause I'm going to take this plane out in less than five minutes
[03:11.43]And this, this is your very last sight"
