Seatbacks and traytables up
Stow all your luggage and cups
We're about to touch down
Midwestern town
Through the haze

Customs' a massive expense
And I'm digging into my pants
Is this Oklahoma?
I remember this place

Trade one town for another
Delayed
Now why did we bother
An X on the calendar square
New city, same stuff
Seatbacks and traytables up
Seatbacks and traytables up

Seatbacks and traytables please
Suddenly I can't feel my knees
Second-run movies
In-flight shopping magazines

Wheezing the air up there
Got me a backache somewhere
Is that Santa Barbara
I've been there before
Trade one town for another
Delayed
Now why did we bother
An X on the calendar square
New city, same stuff
Seatbacks and traytables up
