Halloween Snow

Oh baby, I'm not afraid of flying
You just think you are
It's all mental, darling
Think of how safe we are
Pretty soon we'll be in Japan
We can get everything done
And not too long after that we'll be married
Won't that be fun?

She says, "Look around this flight
Look at all these people going to Japan
They seem mostly black
I don't see a single Asian"
Why'd the pilot just say
"We're headed to Zaire"?
Somehow he must have made a mistake
We shouldn't be here

Oh no, I should have known
By the Halloween snow
That this trip just could not go our way
Now I'll be lost in the jungle with my fiancée
Oh damn, I should be dating
A more confident man
I says, "Honey, please don't be cruel
Words come out of your mouth
Into a puddle of drool"
Alright

"What are we gonna do when we land?"
She says, "We're not prepared for this"
"Baby, stop talking so much
It's making me nervous"
"How about instead of being afraid of flying
And thinking about our imminent doom
You sneak off five minutes after me
Let's go to the airplane bathroom"
She says, "Honey, not now
It's the wrong time"
My lips began to move and I said
"Baby, I'll give you the wrong time"

It's two in the morning
And we're on the wrong flight
But when we get lost in Africa
It'll be alright
I think I want to see the purple and pink
Of the sunset shining through the trees
I'm never gonna learn to speak Japanese
I know I want to stand in the Halloween snow
But I don't know how I ended up here
And everything is happening too soon this year

Oh, too soon
We're only kids

We're touching down
And maybe I don't love you
The ground looks so brown
This can't be Japan, I know it can't
This is scarier
Than a hundred million plane wrecks
You seem so strange and I wonder
I achingly wonder what's gonna happen next
Alright
Ah, ah
Oh yes
