Lyrics
0.000 Feet Up In The Air
Verse
We're 30,000 feet up in the air
The seatbelt's tangled in my underwear
The inside of the window's damp
My legs are feeling perpetually cramped
We're 30,000 feet up in the air
We're 30,000 feet above the ground
My headache's started now to pound and pound
For 3 hours to land we've been waiting
Now my heart's defibrillating
We're 30,000 feet above the ground
Chorus
We're 30,000 feet up in the air
We're at warp speed but we're not going anywhere
If I was religious, I would say a prayer ...for you
We're 30,000 feet up in the air
Verse
We're 30,000 feet up In the sky
I think the pilot's forgotten how to fly
Next to me is a drama queen
She's all tapped out of drammamine
We're 30,000 feet up in the sky
Chorus
We're 30000 feet above the ground
I regret the 20th whisky that I downed
The recycled air goes round and round
We're 30,000 feet above the ground
Verse
We're 30,000 feet up In the air
The whole plane is bathed In a blinding glare
I think we're heading for the sun
Looks like we've passed Apollo One
We're 30,000 feet up in the air
Chorus
We're 30,000 feet up in the air
We're at warp speed but we're not going anywhere
If I was religious, I would say a prayer ...for you
We're 30,000 feet up in the air
