I'd Rather Be Right Here
When the pilot informed us of what he was planning and I heard the dirty words "Emergency landing" well my brakes locked up and my wheels fell off now it's all I that can manage to go for a walk I can see alright, all I need of the world outside I believe instead the important part is in my heart and not my head and I'd just as soon be home in bed; I'd rather be right here if my number comes up and I'm supposed to be dead I'd rather be right here If they voted me to be the leader of the nation SongtexteI'd rather be right here or I won a trip abroad, a paid vacation I'd rather be right here If they told me that the world was ending today I'd rather be right here If I had a bumper sticker this is what it would say: I'd rather be right here Cause I see enough; now I'm willing to be out of touch put my head in the sand I wanna sit right down and take a stand I don't need to be a traveling man; I'd rather be right here But if you wanna see the world, well, be my guest where you might end up is anybody's guess if you get on a plane, say for New Orleans and you land in Smithereens, don't call me cause I'll be undercover with the girl of my dreams I'm gonna be right here Aus Songtexte Mania
