Taxi  to the runway as the  evening turns to night
 It's several  minutes past the chance  to dodge this dire flight
 The engines both look ancient and the wings are swathed in rust
 I should have stayed at home or took the midnight shuttle bus.
 When the hell's the steward going to bring around a drink?
 This lack of ammunition gives me too much time to think
 I'll down the airline champagne and I'll juice up on some gin
 I'll be too blind to worry when the fuselage caves in.
And  now I  know that I'm  going to seem  extreme
This  bird's going down.
 Don't want to cry or to have to make a scene
 This bird's going down.
 The beast is leaping up and down I think I'm going to crack
 Like Terminator my insipid dinner's coming back
 The further out we go the mortal danger only grows
 I've got to stop myself from watching air disaster shows.
In  to swamp in to a bridge into the ocean where  the fishies meet, what a tasty treat.
With  pilot error or the weather or mechanics leaving  checklists  incomplete.
 Into a mountain or a forest or a school yard where the kids all play, what a tragic day
 A fundamentalist with suitcase full of bombs prepared to blow this flight away.
And  now I  know that I'm  going to seem  extreme
This  bird's  going  down.
This  bird's  going  down.
This  bird's going
