This is a fun little retro song as a preview to my Big Bands album released in about a week.
It is all about looking after yourself, FIRST.
Always put your own mask on before helping others!
Cabin Pressure Lyrics
Good afternoon, passengers.
Please direct your attention to the cabin crew.
Before we take off, a quick reminder from me to you.
You carry everyone’s heavy bags
Checking every tag, sorting out the tags
You fix their seats, you wipe their tears
Trying to pilot through all their fears
Your little red light is flashing low
Running out of room, nowhere left to go
Tray tables stowed, but your hands still shake
How many promises can one heart make?
The cabin pressure is starting to drop
You cannot keep running until you stop
Hear that ding overhead?
Remember what the captain said…
Yellow plastic falling from the ceiling line
Take a breath, darling, yours before mine
Three, two, one—
Fasten up tight!
Put your own mask on first!
Before you try to fix the whole universe
Pull the strap, breathe it deep and clear
You cannot be the rescue if you disappear!
Secure your own line before you lend a hand
We’re cruising at thirty thousand feet above the land
Love yourself first, let the oxygen burst!
Seatbelts low and tight across your hips
Keep a gentle smile resting on your lips
Emergency exits to the left and right
Leave behind the baggage that makes you tight
You want to be the hero in the stormy cloud
Saying “I am fine” just a bit too loud
Look at me now, look in my eyes
Even little angels need clear blue skies.
The cabin pressure is starting to drop
You cannot keep running until you stop
Hear that ding overhead?
Remember what the captain said…
Put your own mask on first!
Before you try to fix the whole universe
Pull the strap, breathe it deep and clear
You cannot be the rescue if you disappear!
Secure your own line before you lend a hand
We’re cruising at thirty thousand feet above the land
Love yourself first, let the oxygen burst!
In the unlikely event of an emotional sea
Your flotation device is your own dignity
Pull the red toggle, let the chamber inflate
Do not wait till it is far too late…
Are you ready to fly?
Put your own mask on first!
Before you try to fix the whole universe
Pull the strap, breathe it deep and clear
You cannot be the rescue if you disappear!
Secure your own line before you lend a hand
We’re cruising at thirty thousand feet above the land
Love yourself first, let the oxygen burst!
Tray tables upright.
Heart feeling light.
Breathe in… breathe out…
Thank you for flying with Riley Viair.
