There's an ash cloud drifting over Europe's skies tonight And I'm wondering if I'm ever gonna catch my flight The airport's empty and our plane is late Nervous Russians standing by the gate There's an ash cloud drifting over Europe's skies tonight
It's causing problems in the upper atmosphere And our grand inventions are stranded on the ground down here But no one's crazier than Aeroflot I thank the good Lord that I got my spot On the last plane flying out of Europe's skies tonight
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh My Baby Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh My girl Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh It feels a little strange A dress rehearsal for the end of the world
Now it's 5 AM and I'm resting in my hotel room The BBC says the troubles won't be over soon But in this cozy corner of the galaxy All's as well as it's supposed to be And the stars glow softly over Europe's skies tonight
