==Lyrics==
Back seat over the wing 
And I'm the happiest hot potato on the plane 
Yeah I'm looking, I'm looking, it's beautiful 
I think I wanna go and live out there right now

Oh stewardess can you fix me some Mercury

The city below me shines 
I guess I’m part of Detroit's shining dream 
The ones that forget that I was ever here 
The one that’s going to forget that I had ever been

Oh stewardess can you fix me 
I’ll follow the rules if you tell me 
With one of those endless smiles 
I love all your little bottles of Mercury

My throttle’s open wide 
And I’m wasting my life and I’m wasting time 
And I’d give all of Hitler’s broad oceans 
Ready to swallow Detroit a million times over

The city below me shines 
I guess I’m part of Detroit's shining dream 
The ones that forget that I was ever here 
The one that’s going to forget that I had ever been

Oh stewardess can you fix me

I’ll follow the rules if you tell me 
With one of those endless smiles 
I love all your little bottles of Mercury

My throttle’s open wide 
And I’m wasting my life and I’m wasting time 
And I’d give all of Hitler’s broad oceans 
Ready to swallow Detroit a million times over
