Liz Phair - Bomb (Girly-Sound Version) lyrics
[Liz Phair - Bomb Girly-Sound Version lyrics]
Into Chicago at night
(I said look) Watching the lake turn
The sky into blue-green smoke
(I said look) The sun was setting
To the left of the plane
(I said look) And the cabin was
Filled with an unearthly glow
(I said look) In 27-D, I was behind the wing
(I said look) Watching the landscape roll
Out like credit's on a screen
And I said, "look, look to your left
Passengers look, look to your right
You can pretend that you're
Here from outer space
And this, this is your very first sight"
(I said look) The earth looked like
It was lit from within (I said look) Like a
Big manmade electrical ball
(I said look) As we moved out of
The farmlands and into the grid
(I said look) The plan of a
City was all that you saw
(I said look) And all of
These people sitting totally still
(I said look) As the ground
Raced beneath them 30, 000 feet down
And I said, "look, look to your left
Passengers look, look to your right
You can pretend that you're here
From the fifth century
And this, this is your very first flight"
(I said look) And I was
Pretending that I was in
(I said look) A Galaxie 500 video
(I said look) The stewardess came back
And checked on my drink
(I said look) And I swear that
She looked just like Brigitte Bardot
(I said look) As I had on my walkman
And I had on those eyes
(I said look) That you get
When your circumstance is movie-size
And I said, "look, look to your left
Passengers look, look to your right
You can pretend that the plane's going
To crash in five minutes
And this, this is your very last sight"
"You'd better look, look to your left
Passengers
You'd better look, look to your right
Cause, I'm going to take this plane
Out in less than five minutes
And this, this is your very last sight"
