Untied States

Lacing up our shoes on a bench in the sun
 I'm putting on my belt in front of everyone
 Bright blue screens are shouting from the rafters at the crowds
 "Do you have your boarding pass?" I ask, while thinking of the clouds
 But the news is too loud
 We let the crazy people steal the conversation pit
 There's money to be made off a nation that's been split
 But we're all in this together, facing forward in our chairs
 Thinking only of mortality while hanging in the air
 In the air, in the air
 Up in the bright blue sky, we've been sleeping
 Shoulder to shoulder, knee to knee
 Questioning the schedules we've been keeping
 Row 23, who can it be, it's you and me
 You're dozing in the window seat but I can see out if I lean
 Being careful of your coffee cup, you added too much cream
 Distorted in the travel we're going faster than it seems
 Below us grids of farmland stretch as far as I can see
 Through the clouds, like a dream
 Up in the bright blue sky, we've been sleeping
 Shoulder to shoulder, knee to knee
 Questioning the schedules we've been keeping
 Row 23, who can it be, it's you and me
 Returning to the planet all the lines become streets
 A country full of traffic jams but no one ever meets
 And we are just the same although we're in a different place
 Believing that we're grounded while we're spinning into space
 Space, space, space, space, space
