[Verse] I was buckled tight and feeling fine Seat 12B on a midnight flight line But then I glanced and did a double take The guy next to me was a corpse on a break [Chorus] Sittin’ next to death on a red-eye plane His ticket punched but he’s got no complaints The stewardess whispers “Just stay cool” But I’m sharing peanuts with a lifeless fool [Verse 2] Tried to read my book and not freak out But rigor mortis made him seem devout His head tilted back with a vacant stare I started to worry if I’d leave this chair [Bridge] The turbulence is wild The drinks start to spill I’m holding my composure It's pure will Dead guy’s leaning in I’m losing all my calm All I want is to land without dropping a bomb [Chorus] Sittin’ next to death on a red-eye plane His ticket punched but he’s got no complaints The stewardess whispers “Just stay cool” But I’m sharing peanuts with a lifeless fool [Verse 3] Landing gear down and I can’t feel my knees Praying for the ground while he’s locked in freeze Oh pilot bring us in Just save my soul Get me off this plane I’ve lost control
