"Standing Still" lyrics

Ever watch the planes?
More than the birds?
When you're standing still
On a little piece of earth
Ever slow time?
Trick of your mind
There's no rewind down here
Stop and eject
I hope your parachute's been checked
I wonder where you're gonna land this year

I can see the trees
Top of your house
Old quilt patterns
That the farmers laid out
A million rolling hills
A billion dollar bills
And all the cars headed to landfills

Think I'll just float on over Europe
And the Baltic Sea
Where all the pretty girls
Will smile and wave after me
Tiptoe cross the mountains
Watch the polar bears growl
Try to stop laughing and
Flap my arms faster now
Turn towards the jungle and
A one-camel town

Ever watch the planes?
More than the birds?
When you're standing still
On a little piece of earth
Ever slow time?
Trick of your mind
There's no rewind down here
Stop and eject
I hope your parachute's been checked
Cause I wonder where you're gonna land this year

I woke up from this dream
Flying through the air
Off the porch
Into a chair
I held real still
To see if everything's safe
Then a big fat dog licked the tears
Right off my face
