lyrics

IN FLIGHT

The French Riviera, what a place
Eiffel Tower all up in my face
Traveling fast on the Euro Trans
Touching the windows with my hands
12 hour flight to the other side
Get on a bus and take a long ride
PARIS, the city of lights
Nobody speaks english, but I’m alright
It’s almost night, but I have no fright
Cause to my queen, I’m in flight
If I can find her in her burrough
In her hood, while I have Euros
Then my trip will be real thorough
As from America, I’m on furlough...

Les Nubians, Floetry
This is how I imagine my queen to be
International, Yes indeed
Well cultured, I do believe
Chased after by all the guys
Can cook me more than just french fries
An AFRICAN GODDESS, so advanced
That she’s a sistah, who lives in FRANCE
Fashion designer, who knows museums
And has no problem taking me to see them
Mountain tops, snow caps
Secluded places we can relax
Watching sunsets, I’ve never known
As I reminisce about coming home

Meditating in the FRENCH ALPS
As the countryside removes all doubts
And my spirit soars like a kite
Don’t worry baby, I’m in flight...

I met her on MYSPACE and fell in love
Tell me what I was thinking of
I came all the way around the world
To be the clam for her pearls
One friend request, lotsa comments
22 messages that were all honest
16 e-mails, 9 phone calls
4 letters sent to her, i’ve got balls

1 passport, no visa
This is what I did to see her
2 plane tickets, both round trip
! long bus ride and what did I get ?
I got there and i wanted to be sick
Cause the whole damn thing was a trick
A vacant address, yo what a sight
I’m on my way home...I’m in flight...
