Adrian Belew - I'd Rather Be Right Here Lyrics
When the pilot informed us of what he was planningAnd I heard the dirty words emergency landingWell my brakes locked up and my wheels fell offNow its all I that can manage to go for a walkI can see alright, all I need of the world outsideI believe insteadThe important part is in my heart and not my head andId just as soon be home in bed; Id rather be right hereIf my number comes up and Im supposed to be deadId rather be right hereIf they voted me to be the leader of the nationId rather be right hereOr I won a trip abroad, a paid vacationId rather be right hereIf they told me that the world was ending todayId rather be right hereIf I had a bumper sticker this is what it would say:Id rather be right hereCause I see enough; now Im willing to be out of touchPut my head in the sandI wanna sit right down and take a standI dont need to be a traveling man; Id rather be right hereBut if you wanna see the world, well, be my guestWhere you might end up is anybodys guessIf you get on a plane, say for new orleansAnd you land in smithereens, dont call meCause Ill be undercover with the girl of my dreamsIm gonna be right here
