We were safe, now we're paralyzed
Suspended in flight
At this speed it makes no difference
whether we're standing or sitting in an emergency aisle (not 100% sure about that one but it sounds close)
We could be dead, complete the equation.
What is our X and N?
We have no value in these calculations
Placed on a plane, pointed straight down
Traveling at 500 feet per second
5000 feet from the ground
How long will it take us to hit?
How fast will we start the disintegration?
Don't look now, just keep moving on somehow,
Just keep moving
How fast will it take us to hit?
How long till we start the disintegration?
We could be safe now, forever
Floating in the clean blue air,
circling between the sun that gives us light and the ground that puts it out
And we'll kneel in the isles
Press our hands together and close our eyes
Speak these words so softly
To the black box, it goes
Mother, father, kelly and friends,
I want to thank you for all of your sweetness,
But I'm never, ever coming home
(I'm not sure about the last 3 lines, but it's pretty close as far as I can tell)
