Planes go down over a safari sunset
The market crashes and the businessmen cry
While sitting on a chair I put my bubble gum under the table
The waitress looks at me like I had just committed murder
And every time I forget then I remember
Something's are better on the 25th of December

I wish that I followed you down
I wish that I followed you as the engine hit the ground
I wish that I followed you down down down
I wish that I followed you through that cloud

Now a plane crashes over a mirage in the desert
Another man eats an ice cream as the washer and dryer tumbles
I can't stop laughing while watching Tom and Jerry on the TV
There's something really sad when I look into that black and white memory
What happens now when you break the composure?
You smoke another cigarette and then you drink like a soldier

I wish that I followed you down
I wish that I followed you through the deafening sound
I wish that I followed you down down down
I wish that I'd followed you through that cloud
I wish that I followed you down
I wish that I followed you as the nose took a bow
I wish that I followed you down down down
I wish that I'd followed you through that cloud
