Flight 505

(album: Aftermath - 1966)

Well, I was happy here at home
I got everything I need
Happy being on my own
Just living the life I lead

Well, suddenly it dawned on me
That this was not my life
So I just phoned the airline girl
And said, "Get me on flight number 505
Get me on flight number 505."

Well, I confirmed my reservation
Then I hopped a cab
No idea of my destination
And feeling pretty bad

With my suitcase in my hand
In my head, my new life
So then I told the airline girl
"Well, get me on flight number 505
Get me on flight number 505."

Alright

Well, I sat right there in my seat
Well, feeling like a king
With the whole world right at my feet
"Of course I'll have a drink!"

Well, suddenly I saw
That we never ever would arrive
He put the plane down in the sea
The end of flight number 505
The end of flight number 505

Alright

Whew, they put the plane down in the sea
The end of flight number 505
The end of flight number 505
