i live in the air

i live in the air
is this where you live?
i live here in the air
i live on Southwest street
my traveling companion lives on Continental avenue
do you live here in the air

clouds
drift round me like fog round a car
complimentary headphones wrap round my ears
quiet as a whisper
loud like thunder

thinkin they waz state of the art
i got a packet of honey roasted peanuts where other people got 'em salted
and a beverage for both sides of my tray table

i walk round in an airplane like somebody
else be walkin on the earth
i live in the air
live in it
travel in it
i could even sleep in it
clutch my ticket in my hand
ticket holds so fulla possibilities

ya could make a seatbelt where your arm is and
fasten yourself
fasten yourself in the air
