Pan American nightmare
Ten thousand feet fun-fair
Convinced that I don't care
It's safe as houses I swear
I was just sitting musing
The virtues of cruising
When altitude dropping
My ears started popping
One more red nightmare

[1]

Sweat beginning to pour down
My neck as I turn round
I heard fortune shouting
"Get off of this outing!"
A farewell swan song - see
You know how turbulence can be
The stewardess made me
But the captain forbade me
One more red nightmare

[2]

[3]

[4]

Reality stirred me
My angel had heard me
The prayer had been answered
A reprieve has been granted

The dream was now broken
Thought rudely awoken
Really safe and sound
Asleep on the Greyhound
One more red nightmare

[1] Is that an effect or a keyboard? I love it!

[2] Again... they didn't repeat the last formula. The bass... the fucking bass!

[3] And there it goes... The saxo comes in...

[4] And now it goes again to the after-chorus
