Sleeping In Airports
Agnelli & Nelson Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Caught pneumonia on the road
Taking it home to Connie and the kids
A wheel ran off and jumped a railroad
Then ran through a grocery store
If you want to buy a bus I'm taking bids
And the devil shivered in his sleeping bag
If we can make it home by Friday we can brag
And the devil shivered in his sleeping bag
Well I just got back from New York City
Kris and Rita done it all
Raw perfection there for all the world to see
Lord I heard an angel singing
In the Philharmonic Hall
Rita Coolidge Rita Coolidge cleft for me
And the devil shivered...
And the devil shivered in his sleeping bag
The lyrics to Agnelli & Nelson's song Sleeping In Airports are quite enigmatic as they seem to be a collection of different stories and events. The first verse talks about the band's life on the road, which is filled with excitement and danger. They caught pneumonia while traveling and brought it back to their families risking their health. They also had an accident where a wheel came off their bus and ran through a grocery store. Despite all this, the band still loves to travel and is willing to sell their bus to anyone interested.
The second verse takes us to New York City, where the band witnessed raw perfection at the Philharmonic Hall. They heard an angelic voice singing, which they attribute to Rita Coolidge. This part of the song suggests that the band is very passionate about music and they appreciate the finer artistic experiences in life.
The chorus of the song features the line, "And the devil shivered in his sleeping bag." This line suggests that the devil is perhaps jealous of the band's exciting life on the road and the opportunities they are gaining through their experiences. Overall, the lyrics to Sleeping In Airports are quite poetic, and despite their enigma, they convey a sense of adventure, appreciation for the arts, and a thirst for life experiences.
