Window Seat (Live at Union Hall)

Window Seat (Live) - John Wesley Harding

I was bought on by my mother as her carry-on

She had me in the toilet when the seat-belt sign was on

I crawled up to the captain down the other end

I hid under the seats thats where I played pretend

And I ate the wild pretzel

And the nuts that fell

And the screech of brakes

Was all I knew for my schoolbell

And I know I've got the whole world at my feet

In my window seat

My window seat

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 down the alley

Saying please stay calm

Met the girl in 7b we tried to settle down

But we couldnt reach the aisle

Before we hit the ground

And I know I've got the whole world at my feet

In my window seat

My window seat

My window seat

And now the sisters of the sky

Think Im deaf and dumb

As I wait around for upgrades

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

And show us all a thing or two

About her charms

Well be tempted by the devil

With the magic wand

Hell make us stand with arms

Outstretched then wave us on

And I know I've got the whole world at my feet

In my window seat

My window seat

My window seat

My window seat
