Lyrics

Upon release, the doctors recommended a monthly Visit to the aviation pier It does me good to see a big steel bird Taking off through a transparent tear So now i'm feeling better, less pressure on The laundered eye, a little less to fear I choose a positive afternoon The airport's straight ahead I tell myself on the way down there: "could this be another addiction to dread?" Myself replies, with a glimmer in her eyes: "we could always do push-ups instead" Terminal, je t'aime, i love you terminal, bella mia The doors guess my intentions And slide to let me in I take my steppin' slowly With a ritual back-side swing Intercontinental jive Is live and tickling I gotta calm down in the lavatoire I look into the mirror, a maniac looks back Terminal's a chick like all chicks are I know at least a dozen girls like that She's standing there, with her short cropped hair Like something suspicious aboard swissair A real bomb-shell Her earring hook The security guard gives her penetrating look Terminal, je t'aime, i love you terminal, bella mia I gotta find a flight, but i don't know how! Rome through zurich is leaving about now Polite pager lady telling me it's time Deep inside i've made up my mind Polite pager is getting uptight I gotta go upstairs and see my flight! Inside, my passion's burning bright! She's running now, she's flying high Taking off into the blood-red sky Reflected in this tearful joker's eyes Terminal, je t'aime, i love you terminal, bella mia It's all a joke, i say to me Then suddenly i hear the boom! Explosion tears the sky apart A panicked flurry fills the room And so i turn and take a bow I think i'm feeling better now Upon release, the doctors recommended a monthly Visit to the aviation pier It really does me good to see a big steel bird Take off through a transparent tear After that the pressure's not so bad There's so much less to fear
