Air Force One

Remember the day of the Terror?
I left the office and came over
You always had the fastest browser
And your roommate’s enormous TV
We watched as they replayed the horror
People jumping out of towers
I swore I heard a plane flying over
You said, ‘All right, let’s go out and see.'
It was the only plane in the sky
There was only one person permitted to fly
I told you I’d call you later
You were having something frozen for supper
What a rotten end to the summer
And a pretty shitty end to our youth
I was living with my sister and our friend
That afternoon, they were both working
They hadn’t seen the plane flying
And it got lost in the haystack of news
It was the only plane in the sky
There was only one person permitted to fly
Remember when we took calculus
With that teacher like a blunderbuss?
Just trying to keep our feet under us
As he blasted us with math?
Do you remember what he meant by inflection point?
Who am I kidding, of course you don’t
Just when this whole world twisted out of joint
There surely was a better path
It was the only plane in the sky
There was only one person permitted to fly
