john wesley harding – window seat (live, 2008) lyrics

[verse 1]
well, i was brought on by my mother as her carry+on
she had me in the toilet when the seat+belt sign went on
and i crawled up to the captain at the other end
and i hid under the seats, that’s where i played pretend
and i ate the wild pretzel and the nuts that fell
and the sound of brakes was all i knew for my school bell

[chorus]
and i know i’ve got the whole world at my feet
in my window seat (window seat)
in my window seat
[verse 2]
well, i learned to eat the sweet, i learned to swallow hard
i learned to ease the pressure with free playing cards
spent my teenage setting off all of the smoke alarms
then running through the cabin saying, “please stay calm”
i met the girl in 7b, we tried to settle down
but we couldn’t make the aisle before we hit the ground
(hit the ground)

[chorus]
and i know i’ve got the whole world at my feet
(this one’s for delta)
in my window seat (window seat)
in my window seat
a window seat

[verse 3]
now the sisters of the sky think i am deaf and dumb
as i wait around for meals that will never come
but i know that we will one day sit on his right hand
be his automatic pilot when this plane must land
and the stewardess of babylon, she’ll spread her arms
she’ll show us all a thing or two about her charms
we’d been tempted by the devil with the metal wand
made us stand with arms outstretched and then he waved us on
yeah, yeah
[chorus]
and i know i’ve got the whole world at my feet
in my window seat (window seat)
in my window seat
a window seat
a window seat
(robert)

[mandolin solo]
alright

[outro]
