Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Well, I was happy here at home
I got everything I need
Happy being on my own
Just living the life I lead
[Verse 2]
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"
[Verse 3]
Well, I confirmed my reservation
Then I hopped a cab
No idea of my destination
And feeling pretty bad
[Verse 4]
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
[Verse 5]
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
[Verse 6]
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
[Verse 7]
Ooh, they put the plane down in the sea
The end of flight number 505
The end of flight number 505
