Estimated time of arrival 9.30 a.m.
Been up before the sun and now I'm tired before I even 
begin.
(Now you're flying) I got so much work in front of me,
(Really flying) it stretches out far as the eye can 
see.
I can see.

Spend half my life in airports doing crosswords and 
attempting tosleep,
And when the bar is open then you'll often find me 
warming aseat.
(Now you're flying) I never find a place where I can 
stay
(Really flying) I'd rather be a thousand miles away.
Thousand miles away.

Working for yourself sometimes ain't all that it's 
cracked up tobe.
It can be as lonely at the top as at the bottom of that 
corporatetree
(Now you're flying) I'm told I'm going places - who can 
say ?
(Really flying) I might arrive but I'll be gone the 
very nextday.
I must be on my way
A thousand miles away.

Promised to myself someday I'd take the time and try to 
makesense
Out of all those opportunities I've lost from trying to 
sit onthe fence
(Now you're flying) But right now I've got no time 
foryesterday
(Really flying) Yesterday's a thousand miles away.
A thousand miles away.

What was that that you were trying to say ?
I guess I was a thousand miles away.
Sing it again.
