[Instrumental Intro: 00:00-00:42]
[Verse 1]
Pan-American nightmare
Ten thousand feet fun-fair
Convinced that I don't care
Safe as houses, I swear
I was just sitting musing
The virtues of cruising
When altitude dropping
My ears started popping
[Refrain]
One more red nightmare
[Instrumental Break: 01:03-01:45]
[Verse 2]
Sweat beginning to pour down
My neck as I turned round
I heard fortune shouting
"Get off of this outing!"
A farewell swan song — see
You know how turbulence can be
The stewardess made me
But the captain forbade me
[Refrain]
One more red nightmare
[Instrumental Break: 02:06-04:41]
[Saxophone Solo]
[Verse 3]
Reality stirred me
My angel had heard me
The prayer had been answered
A reprieve had been granted
The dream was now broken
Though rudely awoken
Really safe and sound
Asleep on the Greyhound
[Refrain]
One more red nightmare
[Instrumental Outro]
[Saxophone Solo]
