Liz Phair - Stratford-On-Guy lyrics
[Liz Phair - Stratford-On-Guy lyrics]
I was flying into Chicago at night
Watching the lake turn the
Sky into blue-green smoke
The sun was setting to the left of the plane
And the cabin was filled
With an unearthly glow
In 27-D, I was behind the wing
Watching landscape roll out like
Credit's on a screen
The earth looked like it was lit from within
Like a poorly assembled electrical ball
As we moved out of the
Farmlands into the grid
The plan of a city was all that you saw
And all of these people sitting totally still
As the ground raced beneath them
Thirty-thousand feet down
It took an hour, maybe a day
But once I really listened the
Noise just fell away
And I was pretending that I was in
A Galaxie 500 video
The stewardess came back and
Checked on my drink
In the last strings of sunlight
A Brigitte Bardot
'Cause, I had on my headphones
Along with those eyes that you get when your
Circumstance is movie-sized
It took an hour, maybe a day
But once I really listened the
Noise just fell away
It took an hour, maybe a day
But once I really listened the
Noise just fell away
But once I really listened the
Noise just fell away
Watching the lake turn the
Sky into blue-green smoke
The sun was setting to the left of the plane
And the cabin was filled
With an unearthly glow
In 27-D, I was behind the wing
Watching landscape roll out like
Credit's on a screen
The earth looked like it was lit from within
Like a poorly assembled electrical ball
As we moved out of the
Farmlands into the grid
The plan of a city was all that you saw
And all of these people sitting totally still
As the ground raced beneath them
Thirty-thousand feet down
It took an hour, maybe a day
But once I really listened the
Noise just fell away
And I was pretending that I was in
A Galaxie 500 video
The stewardess came back and
Checked on my drink
In the last strings of sunlight
A Brigitte Bardot
'Cause, I had on my headphones
Along with those eyes that you get when your
Circumstance is movie-sized
It took an hour, maybe a day
But once I really listened the
Noise just fell away
It took an hour, maybe a day
But once I really listened the
Noise just fell away
But once I really listened the
Noise just fell away
