The Tragically Hip - Freak Turbulence lyrics

You're older, you're haunted
You're ahead of your time
In corners of acres of
Blocks of straight lines
Blurringly, hourly we cross
Some great divides some heritage moments and
Some melodious minds
A voice above the engine and
The jet stream combined
"It's time, sir, the time, sir
Do you have the time?"

As the moon groomed the airplane
In a benevolent way

Again with the myth that's neither here
Neither there again with the myth from up
Up high in the air
Above it all, I love you all
Oh how could this be the end?
Satan backhands our nose and our chin


The wings tell the tailfins
"it's freak turbulence"
Just then the captain assures us we will land
"I'll have you on the ground in
Twenty five minutes or less"
"Or less, " did he say
"less"? Unless what? We're not on time?
Or less he said "or less"
Jet stream and engine combine
Unless he said "or less" as if a
Joke might just keep us flying

And as the moon groomed the airplane
In a benevolent way
And as the moon groomed the airplane
In a benevolent way
And as the moon groomed the airplane
With it's benevolent rays
