The Man Who Fell from the Sky

Copped a ticket, flight 305
They ain't gonna take me alive
I'm the man, shades on briefcase in hand
Military minded so I focus on the plan
Got a grudge and I'm about to get revenge on Uncle Sam
Get paid, I'm a renegade, do it while I can
Sit down in the back, order bourbon and a soda
… Called that little pretty misses over
Hand her a note, let her know I got a bomb
Asked her to sit next to me, keep her calm
Opened up the casе to show her it ain't fake
Told her takе notes i got some demands I need to make
First I need cake, 200k
In unmarked twenty dollar bills on the way
Second, I need four parachutes for my escape
Two front, two back or I blow us all away
Take it to the crew, let 'em know what they gotta do
And thank you for your patience, it's been a long day
Once we hit Seattle I expect to get my money
Then we hittin' Reno to refuel and leave the country

Landed in Seattle, they brought me the bag
Cold hard cash, I was grinning, had to laugh
Let the passengers get off, I was keepin' my cool
Told the crew lets get back up in the air on the air on the move
Now we headin' Southeast at 100 knots
I told the pilot lower the wings 'til they 15 degrees and don't drop
Lit a smoke and ordered me a drink
I knew they'd take the bait and think that I was on the brink
But they got played, cause the truth of it the bomb was just a fake
Got over on em, but that moneys real and that's the con for cake
I'll launder all the cash, buy a cabin on the lake
I been working for the system now the system gotta pay
Military made, alias Dan Cooper
Trained to jump in rough terrain for days, a paratrooper
Fuck a flight to Cuba, I'm jumpin' out the sky
If I die today I'm rich and I'll be rich 'til the day I die
Asked if Tina wouldn't mind standing by my side
Told her thank you for the help, its been a pleasure, but its time
Time to leave, I'll be back here but you gotta go
As she headed to the front, I picked up all the doe
Wrapped the money in the test chute, walked back
Put the aft stairs down, felt the cold wind blast
.. and I was never seen again
Jumped into the storm like a ghost in the wind
And I'm gone
