"Flight 505" lyrics

Flight 505

Well, I was happy here at home
I've got everything I need
Happy being on my own
Just living the life I lead
Well, suddenly it dawned on me
That this was not my life
So I just phoned the airline girl and said
Get me on flight number five-oh-five
Get me on flight number five-oh-five

Well, I confirmed my reservation
Then I hopped a cab
No idea of my destination
And feeling pretty bad
With my suitcase in my hand
And in my head my new life
So then I told the airline girl
Well get me on flight number five-oh-five
Get me on flight number five-oh-five
All right

Well, I sat right there in my seat
Well, feeling like a king
With the whole world right at my feet
Of course I'll have a drink
Well, suddenly I saw that we
Never ever would arrive
He put the plane down in the sea
The end of flight number five-oh-five
The end of flight number five-oh-five
All right

They put the plane down in the sea
The end of flight number five-oh-five
The end of flight number five-oh-five
