When the pilot informed us of what he was planning
And I heard the dirty words "emergency landing"
Well my brakes locked up and my wheels fell off
Now it's all I that can manage to go for a walk

I can see alright, all I need of the world outside
I believe instead
The important part is in my heart and not my head and
I'd just as soon be home in bed; I'd rather be right here
If my number comes up and I'm supposed to be dead
I'd rather be right here
[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsfreak.com/a/adrian+belew/id+rather+be+right+here_20004013.html ]
If they voted me to be the leader of the nation
I'd rather be right here
Or I won a trip abroad, a paid vacation
I'd rather be right here
If they told me that the world was ending today
I'd rather be right here
If I had a bumper sticker this is what it would say:
I'd rather be right here

Cause I see enough; now I'm willing to be out of touch
Put my head in the sand
I wanna sit right down and take a stand
I don't need to be a traveling man; I'd rather be right here

But if you wanna see the world, well, be my guest
Where you might end up is anybody's guess
If you get on a plane, say for new orleans
And you land in smithereens, don't call me
Cause I'll be undercover with the girl of my dreams
I'm gonna be right here
