When you include
the original flight
we were on the plane for twelve
thirteen hours
We were on there fifteen hours
Twenty hours
Twenty-eight hours
We were on the plane
for over an entire day
Twenty-eight hours
Over an entire day
There was one aisle in the middle
Everyone knew every inch
of that plane
We were allowed
out of our seats
but not off the plane
You never think about it
but airplane doors
are twenty feet in the air
And even
if you survived the jump
they probably would
have shot you
You can go up to first class
You can stretch in the aisles
There are three seats
on each side
and there was only one
aisle in the middle
Everyone knew every inch
of that plane
Our flight was full
There were children
sleeping on the floor
We had no way to get information
This is before most people
had mobile phones
And only a couple
people got through
Hello
Mom
Bonjour
Operator
Tom
Oh thank God
I finally got through
I borrowed a passenger's phone
How are you
Are the kids okay
No I'm fine Tom
I'm fine
Safe and sound
on the ground here
in Newfoundland
We don't know much except
for the BBC
Listen
I can't talk long
Can you do something for me
I'm okay
I'm fine
Vais bien
Pick up
Tell the kids I'm alright
Take them into the kitchen
And show them the map
That we used to put pins in
For each destination
That we flew together
Tell them that I'm fine
Put a pin here in Gander
On our plane
someone has a cell phone
But then the battery dies
There are phones
in the backs of the seats
But they don't work
Half of the passengers
on our plane
don't speak English
Even if we knew
what was happening
we don't speak their language
On our plane
we asked the flight attendants
But the captain says
not to say too much
and that's when rumors start
flying
There's an accident
An accident
The US airspace is closed
For the first time in history
Why won't she tell us
what's happening
A helicopter crashed
in Pennsylvania
A helicopter crashed
into a building
Oh my god It's World War III
Meanwhile on our plane
We didn't have a clue
We were all going insane because
There wasn't squat to do
Then the captain
starts apologizing
Says on behalf of the airline
He's giving each and everyone some
Complimentary booze
Open the airplane doors
Wave at all the cars
Hello to whoever you are
Wherever we are
The ground crews supplied
whatever we needed
Nicotine patches
Medication
Pampers
Something to drink
So the flight attendants
brought out
All the mini-bottles of liquor
And delivered them to everyone
Soon everyone got friendlier
I took a couple of pictures
of the view there in my camera
We didn't know where we were
But we knew that we were hammered
Open the airplane doors
Wave at all the locals
Surely there's something better
to do than park
Wherever we are
We'd been sitting
there for fourteen hours
when we pull out the Grey Goose
Kevin and I were kinda
hiding it because
Because we didn't want
to share it
Anyway this woman
this hot mess behind us
kept completely freaking out
I don't understand
why they can't let us off
I mean just to stretch our legs
I mean really I need to get
some air Oh my God
I need to get off this plane
And my boyfriend Kevin
We're both named Kevin
It was cute for a while
Anyway Kevin was not dealing
with it well
I'm going to kill her
Excuse me I would like
to get off the plane I am
claustrophobic
Excuse me
would you like some Xanax
Because you are
freaking out and
it is freaking me out
and we are all freaking
the fuck out
Open the airplane doors
Let a little air in here
Cause I could use a shower
or a bar
Or a bar
Open the airplane doors
Look at all the planes out there
There must be a convention
it's bizarre
Wherever we are
Twenty-eight hours
Twenty-eight hours
Out of the window
Twenty-eight hours
Twenty-eight hours
Nothing but darkness
Twenty-eight hours
Twenty-eight hours
Darkness and headlights
Twenty-eight hours
Twenty-eight hours
Nothing to see
The flight attendants keep
telling us nothing's wrong
When I've got kids
and I've got grandkids
I know when someone's
hiding something
And when parents need their kids
to stop asking questions
they start playing movies
We ran through every movie
we had Legally Blonde
Doctor Doolittle 2
and Titanic
Near far wherever you
Nothing to do
Nothing to see
Thank god we stopped
at the duty-free
Wherever we are
Do you mind if I sit
I need to get to work
and there's some drunk people
at the back of the plane singing
at the top of their lungs
No of course I'm Diane
Nick How are you doing
I'm worried about someone
He was flying today
I just wish there was some way
to tell him where I am
Newfoundland
Oh no you know that
You just can't tell him
Right I'm hoping
you're one of those people
who laughs when English people
say awkward things
I just wish we knew
what was happening
What's happening
What's happening
Somewhere in between
Your life
And your work
When the world may
be falling apart
And you think
I'm alone
I'm alone
And I'm so damn helpless
There's nothing left to do
but drink
We open the airplane doors
Flash all the cars
Wooh
I've never done that before
Twenty-eight hours
God Over an entire day
Running out of things to say
And if there's someone
Going to clue us in
Tell us all what's happening
Because the sun is setting
And we're sitting in the dark
Wherever we are
Later that night I'm up in the
cockpit with some
of the other passengers
when the pilot puts the radio
on over the intercom
and the whole plane goes silent
when the president
gives his speech
I ask the American people
to join me
in saying thanks for all the folks
who've been fighting hard
to rescue our fellow citizens
and to join me in saying
a prayer for the victims
and their
families
The resolve of our great nation
is being tested
but make no mistake
we will show the world
that we will pass this test
God bless
You got through to the airline
Tom I'm okay
Tell me what's happening out there
How bad is it
Tom tell me everything
Tom who was in the air
No no I wouldn't have known them
No no one on that airline
Charles Are you sure
No I'm fine Tom
I'm fine
