At Thirty Thousand Feet
Sat in a tube at thirty thousand feet.
Cramped and hungry, bored as hell
Time ticking slowly, as clouds pass by
Thirty thousand feet, seven miles high
Returning from a holiday, had a good time.
Like being sat in cell, innocent of crime
Now I can’t wait to land on Terra ferma
Back to the grindstone and the sabachi derma.
In 90 minutes solid ground,
going straight home when my bag is found.
Nothing to declare but I bet they search.
I’ll tell them every Sunday I go to church.
Into the car a twenty minute ride,
back to reality and the sinking feeling inside.
Did you think I said I'd holiday forever?
I think you misheard because I know I never!
