Flight 180

It's like you took the giant Christmas tree
At Rockefeller Center and
You spread it out paper thin
But you were careful not to break a bulb
And then you mirrored it a million fold
To shine and shine and shine along

There's a tap on my knee
"Bring up your seat back please," she says
But I know she means
If you feel like dancing, dance with me

Some of the lights below
Shine directly on the people I know
Their lives take such strange shapes
But how together they appear from above
I guess that could be love
My friends, my friends, I'm coming home

And then the captain speaks
"It's clear and 44 degrees."
But I know he means
If you feel like dancing, dance with me

But I've been out past the lights
To where the jagged black begins
I let my heels sink in the sand
And the ocean soaked its teeth
And the cold cuts through my feet
I'm stretched out on and on and on

How disconnected
I can feel the ground
Like I'm shining all alone
I don't wanna be, so
Before I go to bed tonight
I signal up to the passing flights
Hit the lights, the lights, the lights, the lights

And now the man in the middle seat
Recites his times tables audibly
But I know he means
If you feel like dancing, dance with me
Dance with me
If you feel like dancing, dance with me
If you feel like dancing, dance with me
Dance with me
