[Verse 1]
I am afraid of bridges, sometimes I have to turn around
When I'm driving towards one and my heart begins to pound
Last night at the bridge to Johnsburg I swerved down a dead end street
I sat there shaking in an empty lot full of broken glass and weeds

[Pre-Chorus]
Then past me in the darkness ran four wild dogs
Leaping over abandoned tires high into the air

[Chorus]
In the air, in the air
Someday I will live in the air

[Guitar solo]

[Verse 2]
Once I loved a girl named Joan whose skin smelled just like falling snow
One day she drove us off the road into a dead field of corn
She laughed and hit the gas as we bounced across the rows
But I held onto the dashboard with my eyes tightly closed

[Pre-Chorus]
Those wild dogs brought back that smell of falling snow
And the girl who lives in Johnsburg across a bridge I can not cross
[Chorus]
In the air, in the air
Someday I will live in the air
