Emergency Landings

I won't die
My eyes will open immediately on the other side
No, I won't ever die
My eyes will open immediately on the other side

Spirits in the sky
Airplane flying high
Round-trip turned into one way
Above the U.S.A
And then he whispered in my ear
A resounding, "Don't be scared"
But we were crying

He said
"I won't die. My eyes will open immediately on the other side. No, I won't ever die. My eyes will open immediately on the other side."

Flight ordinary and then emergency landing
Once occupied right next to me, now an empty seat
Then from O'Hare to JFK
A resounding epiphany in my mind rings

That I won't die, my eyes will open immediately on the other side. No, I won't ever die
My eyes will open immediately on the other side

And just like that you lose something
And just like that you need something
And just like that you feel something
Just like that

I won't die. My eyes will open immediately on the other side. No, I won't ever die. My eyes will open immediately on the other side
