Tiger Moth - DB Cooper

Sunglasses and suit, check
And a parachute, check
Elan and grace, check
And a bomb in a suit-suit-suit-suit-suit-suitcase

1971
Dan Cooper had a bomb
Ticket obtained
Now he's gonna board the plane
Bourbon soda and ice
Time is right to start the heist

Takes his seat at the back
Pulls the luggage onto his lap
Flips open the case
Looks the attendant in the face
This is my demand:
Two hundred grand

Hijack parachuter
Jumped from that plane
Never seen again

Dan Cooper explains his plan
Tell the pilot when you can
We'll land in Seattle
Get the money and refuel
Another drink would be really swell
Make it a double, what the hell

When tyres hit the tarmac
Dan gets the chute for his back
Passengers off, cash in
Fill the tanks with kerosine
As the engines begin to spin
Cooper risks a grin

DB Cooper
DB Cooper
Hijack parachuter
Jumped from that plane
Never seen again

The plane climbs into the night
Ten thousand feet in height
Dan dons the parachute
Stuffs the cash into his suit
He stops for a moment and takes a breath
Time for fortune or death

Door opens in the tail
In the plane it blows a gale
Wipes some sweat from his brow
Too late to turn back now
Dan Cooper leaves the flight
And he jumps into the night

DB Cooper
DB Cooper
Hijack parachuter
Jumped from that plane
Never seen again
DB Cooper
