Up in the air, just above the clouds
Looking out the window
Oh what a beautiful sight


Up in the air, way above the ground
Unplug my ears and think

What a terrible sound

That the engines make, it don't seem right

Being here it don't make no sense to me
Although I'm up in the air
I can go anywhere, up in the air


Up in the air in an old machine
Black clouds, rain, thunder outside

What a beautiful sight

Up in the air, cheating on gravity

But I'm stuck, stuck in this shell of steel
It ain't place for me


The noise that the engines make
It don't seem right
Being here it don't make no sense to me

Although I'm up in the air
I can go anywhere, but then I see ?


The fine line between space and the atmosphere
And suddenly everything makes sense to me
I could go anywhere, without a shell or a care


And when the aeroplane breaks in half
Just leave your body behind

Then we could all float around, no run and hide

No worries up there, save the treasure you've found

It's all yours to keep, in the air - don't be scared
