作词 : Phair
I was flying into Chicago at night
Watching the lake turn the sky into blue green smoke
The sun was setting to the left of the plane
And the cabin was filled with an unearthly glow
In 27 D I was behind the wing
Watching landscape roll out like credits on a screen
The earth looked like it was lit from within
Like a poorly assembled electrical ball
As we moved out of the farmlands into the grid
The plan of a city was all that you saw
And all of these people sitting totally still
As the ground raced beneath them thirty thousand feet down

It took an hour maybe a day

But once I really listened the noise just fell away

And I was pretending that I was in a Galaxie 500 video
The stewardess came back and checked on my drink
In the last strings of sunlight a Brigitte Bardot
As I had on my headphones
Along with those eyes that you get
When your circumstance is movie size

It took an hour maybe a day

But once I really listened the noise just fell away

It took an hour maybe a day

But once I really listened the noise just fell away

But once I really listened the noise just fell away
