Window Seat Songtext
von John Wesley Harding

I was brought on by my mother as her carry-on
She had me in the toilet
When the seat-belt sign was on
And I crawled up to the captain at the other end
And I hid under the seats
That′s where I played pretend
And I ate the wild pretzel
And the nuts that fell
And the sound of brakes was all I knew
For my school bell
And I know I've got the whole world at my feet
In my window seat
In my window seat


Well, I learned to eat the sweet
I learned to swallow hard
I learned to ease the pressure with free playing cards
Spent my teenage setting off all of the smoke alarms
Then running to the cabin saying "please stay calm"
I met the girl in seven B
We tried to settle down
But we couldn′t make the aisle before we hit the ground
Hit the ground
And I know I've got the whole world at my feet
In my window seat
In my window seat
A window seat

Well now the sisters of the sky think I am deaf and dumb
As I wait around for meals that will never come
But I know that we will one day sit on his right hand
Be his automatic pilot when this plane must land
And the stewardess of Babylon will spread her arms
She'll show us all a thing or two about her charms
We′d been tempted by the devil with the magic wand
He made us stand with arms outstretched
And then he waved us on
Into the great beyond
And I know I′ve got the whole world at my feet
In my window seat
In my window seat
A window seat
A window seat
