Terminal (Bonus Track)

Lyrics and Music: Me'ir Ariel

Translated by Noa

Upon release, the doctors recommended a monthly

Visit to the aviation pier,

It does me good to see a big steel bird

Taking off through a transparent tear

So now I'm feeling better, less pressure on

The laundered eye, a little less to fear.

I choose a positive afternoon,

The airport's straight ahead

I tell myself on the way down there:

"could this be another addiction to dread?"

Myself replies, with a glimmer in her eyes:

"we could always do push-ups instead".

Terminal, je t'aime, I love you terminal, bella mia.

The doors guess my intentions

And slide to let me in

I take my steppin' slowly

With a ritual back-side swing,

Intercontinental jive

Is live and tickling

I gotta calm down in the lavatoire

I look into the mirror, a maniac looks back

Terminal's a chick like all chicks are

I know at least a dozen girls like that

She's standing there, with her short cropped hair,

Like something suspicious aboard swissair

A real bomb-shell,

Her earring hook,

The security guard gives her penetrating look.

Terminal, je t'aime, I love you terminal, bella mia.

I gotta find a flight, but I don't know how!

Rome through zurich is leaving about now

Deep inside I've made up my mind

I gotta go upstairs and see my flight!

Inside, my passion's burning bright!

She's running now, she's flying high

Taking off into the blood-red sky

Reflected in this tearful joker's eyes

Terminal, je t'aime, I love you terminal, bella mia.

It's all a joke, I say to me

Then suddenly I hear the boom!

Explosion tears the sky apart

A panicked flurry fills the room

And so I turn and take a bow

I think I'm feeling better now.

Upon release, the doctors recommended a monthly

Visit to the aviation pier,

It really does me good to see a big steel bird

Take off through a transparent tear,

After that the pressure's not so bad

There's so much less to fear
