Pan American nightmare

 Ten thousand feet funfair

 Convinced that I don't care

 It's safe as houses I swear

 I was just sitting musing

 The virtues of cruising

 When altitude dropping

 My ears started popping

 One more red nightmare

 

 Sweat beginning to pour down

 My neck as I turn round

 I heard fortune shouting

 "Get off of this outing!"

 A farewell swan song - see

 You know how turbulence can be

 The stewardess made me

 But the captain forbade me

 One more red nightmare

 

 Reality stirred me

 My angel had heard me

 The prayer had been answered

 A reprieve has been granted

 The dream was now broken

 Thought rudely awoken

 Really safe and sound

 Asleep on the Greyhound

 One more red nightmare
