Lyrics
Airport Man
The constant wailing of a baby
comes from somewhere down the hall
while the white snow in the dark night
continues to fall
It's noisy and it's crowded
and I'm touchy 'cause my phone
doesn't work, there's no reception
never felt so all alone
I see some cat who looks so 80's
think I'll call him rollin' rick
There's a guy with cowboy boots on
and I think I'll call him Dick
and this baby still is wailing
and the weather still is bad
I wish there was someone I could kick (chorus)
I wish there was something I could do
(but) I'm just stranded in this airport
feeling helpless
Someone sitting behind me
keeps whistling the same tune
over and over
the same bloody tune
And one unusually cheerful
stewardess is walking by
and I swear she's using uppers
(I wonder) if she'd take a bribe?
[CHORUS]
i keep picturing Marie and the boys
in a decorated room with a cake and all
and one chair standing empty
[CHORUS]
