dancing in the seats
(bainbridge/lawrence) 

I was on a flight
full of jitters, full of fright
when a girl sat next to me
and said her name in japanese

now I don't know
my 'sushi' from my 'arigato'
I said, 'I don't know what you mean'
and read my inflight magazine

now i don't sleep
on busses, airplanes, or military jeeps
and yet she's sleeping next to me
she's sleeping next to me

I reach out my hand
to get myself some 'temazepam'
when she leans herself on me
and we start dancing in the seats

dancing in the seats
dancing in the seats
dancing in the seats

it's a 9 hour flight
from tokyo to the motor city lights
and she's sleeping next to me
I feel her breathing next to me

and we're feeling fine
while others mind that 'fasten seat belt' sign
'cause at 30,000 feet
we're dancing in the seats

(chorus)
hikoki no shiito de issho ni
odotte-imasu

now i don't know
if she's off to boston, new york or buffalo
and she doesn't question me
she just pulls herself to me

what can you do
when a strange girl decides to lean on you
you just get another sheet
and start dancing in the seats

(chorus)
hikoki no shiito de issho ni
odotte-imasu
