lyrics

Ladies and gentlemen, we have a problem in the sky
Sixty-seven people and not one of them can fly
When the plane descends, I’m afraid we’re all gonna die
And as for me, attendant seventeen, I’ve never prayed before.
I thought that I had time.

As I fight for air I can see you smile
I’m headed to the great beyond

Please stay calm,
The cabins losing pressure
Put your lifemask on
Just keep yourself together
Don’t be scared but don’t look down
We’ll walk on water or we’ll fucking drown

You won’t find me at the bottom; it’s too dark to see down here
But it heightens all your senses and makes bad things disappear
So if you can’t fix your problems,
You can always send them here

So call your family one last time
Turn to your neighbors, say goodbye
This is the last ride of our lives

I’m an aviator
My heads up in the clouds
I’m an aviator
My heads up in the clouds
(We’re dropping)

As I fight for air I can see you cry
We’re all alone up in the sky.

Please stay calm,
The cabins losing pressure
Put your lifemask on
Just keep yourself together
Don’t be scared but don’t look down
We’ll walk on water or we’ll fucking drown

You won’t find me at the bottom; it’s too dark to see down here
But it heightens all your senses and makes bad things disappear
So if you can’t fix your problems,
You can always send them here

What goes up must come down
What goes up must come down
I am the king; I wear this crown
I won’t abandon as we head straight for the fucking ground.
