I hit the light switch on the wall
He was at least fifty feet tall
He knew we'd been here before
Close behind you stood in the hall
His temper decided he wouldn't play ball
A test flight promoter from head to the floor
'Cause we're nosediving
We're nosediving
I walked into the room
The man in the corner picks up his phone
He says “they come and go
With each winter's snow when it falls
Holding their arms out ‘I love yous'
And playing the fool”
“And I'll take you to Lima
And show you a real police chase
Ande the mountain range,
There's a good hiding place
Will we find out some day
Bureaus decide to face?
And there's a whole list of people
Saying this is what happened to me
But they've never been seen”
I asked “how have you been?”
You just stared at the screen
The news said a plane fell but nobody saw
And leaders dictate, find a scapegoat
‘It wasn't our fault'
'Cause we're nosediving
We're nosediving
I think that we're nosediving
And shattered and frightened
And everything seems out of line
But Carlos In America
Tells me they're doing just fine
