Terrestrial Man Lyrics by Jack Van Cleaf

2023

[Intro Spoken]
Hey, bud, uh, just checking in
If actually, if you want, I'm, uh, in between flight
We're all flying and I'm gone heading out to the north
And, yeah-yeah, bye, love ya

[Verse 1]
Hey, bud, just calling from Seattle
How are you living out in Nashville?
Prepared for European travel? Will you be leaving soon?
I'll be back in a few days, it'd be great to see your face
If you're busy, that's okay, what are you up to?
I've been jumping back and forth
Between Oakland and New York
There are limitless airports to keep me on the move

[Chorus]
And I've come to undеrstand
That I'm no terrestrial man
My home's a location in bеtween destinations
Sometimes I wish that I'd never land

[Verse 2]
Hey, bud, just calling you from Dallas
This terminal's an earthly palace
For every pilot lacking balance in his sleep routine
You're going to London, ain't it funny?
You'll fly through here to leave the country
I'll leave behind some foreign money at security
So, when you drink in Camden Town
You can afford to double down
Don't leave your head up in the clouds
More than it needs to be

[Chorus]
‘Cause you'll come to understand
That you're no terrestrial man
Your home's a location in between destinations
Do you ever wish that you didn't land?

[Bridge]
What was the cause when you thought that you'd call me an asshole?
(Hey, bud, did I miss your call?
I'll be leaving a message— in forty minutes or so)
I'm sorry that I'm sleep-deprived every time that I come home
(Sorry, your bud is working
So, um, let me know when he can)
Remember when you were a kid? Brought you gifts from Tokyo
I lived for the light in your eyes, you were five, where's the time go?
You thought I knew this world like the back of my hand

[Chorus]
But I'm no terrestrial man
My home's a location in between destinations
Sometimes I wish that I'd never land
Do you ever wish that you didn't land?
