High above Anchorage on a redeye flight
I've been up all night under an overhead light
Shining down on me
If this plane goes down into the sea
Apply a cushion to my forehead
I'll float home to you, half asleep
I recline my seat
Staring down at the sea
I stir my bloody mary
With a stick of celery
Ice cubes melt into my drink
Ocean's as smooth as a skating rink
About the same for me
Fogging up my window with Smirnoff breath
A tap on my shoulder from the stewardess
I guess it's time to leave
I recline my seat
Staring down at the sea
I stir my bloody mary
With a stick of celery
(Bye now! Buh-bye! Bye now!)
I've been up all night under an overhead light
Shining down on me
Apply a cushion to my forehead
I'll float home to you, half asleep
Staring down at the sea
I stir my bloody mary
With a stick of celery
Ocean's as smooth as a skating rink
About the same for me
A tap on my shoulder from the stewardess
I guess it's time to leave
Staring down at the sea
I stir my bloody mary
With a stick of celery
