lyrics
If you're the aluminium
The leg room at a premium
The prisoner trapped in this big cigar
And if you're the clawing sweating at
The shared armrest dreading
All along this trip between sea and star
Then I want to be the pilot
You're the expectation of a sunny destination
Wearing shades three sizes too loud
Yours is the elation of a young soul on vacation
The camera taking pictures of clouds
But then I get to be the pilot in this extended metaphor
As the writer of this song I feel entitled to a little more
The rhymes are a bit spurious and I'm breaking the fourth wall
But I want to be the pilot, is all
You were the voice breaking on the intercom, stick shaking
When the fat man started praying in a drawl
You were the panicked flight attendant lying "it's gonna be alright"
You were the unrecoverable stall
And I was the pilot
