lyrics

Fake name in a three piece suit
Lied and ticked “no explosives”
They didn’t ask about no parachute
Request granted for an aisle seat
Legroom to spare
“Could I grab a bourbon soda, please?”
Fine white dress miss, avoid red wine
I expect some turbulence in just over an hour’s time.
A quick stop in Tacoma
It’s impossible to track a loner
Transcending mythology
Descending, watching eyes ain’t seeing me
Briefcase secured, loot counted and stacked
Tray table secured, cabin crew prepare for crash
The bomb is armed, manoeuvres smooth
So if I hit this red handle, will that blow the hatch?
November 24, 71
Northwest Orient F305
Freefall from mile high, air thin, skinny sky.
Two minutes, no oxygen to my gills
Altitude right, strap pulled, chute fills
Smooth sailing as I prepare to hit the ground
Timed just right, less than a click from the car waiting in town.
News travels slow here in the islands down south.
Police sketch? You wouldn’t recognise me now.
The federales said they found my body in a marsh.
Then how am I sipping cocktails beachside through a thick moustache?
