"Flight Plans" is an unreleased song by Weezer.
Background
"Flight Plans" is an unreleased song that was worked on during the sessions for Weezer's ninth album, Everything Will Be Alright in the End. A 7-second excerpt from the song could be heard in the first preview video for the album from the band's YouTube page.[1] The song is not currently in circulation, but has been played to fans, who have attempted to recreate the song by memory.[2] In 2019, a fan-recorded clip leaked online.
The explicit premise of the song and its place in the album's narrative are unknown, but the teaser video for "Eulogy for a Rock Band" featured a shot of a newspaper billboard, dated November 2, 1985, that read "The plane went down at roughly 2am after the band's triumphant show at Wembley."[3]

"I've got my what wide?" It is not presently possible to verify some of the lyrics due to lack of verifiable sources, insufficient fidelity of audio, or mumbled vocal delivery. We encourage users to accept this ambiguity and refrain from attempting to guess. |
We used to share one atmosphere
It’s getting hard to breathe over here
???
???
You used to be impressed with my badge
I see you with your eye on the hatch
If we wanna get the ship back to earth
We gotta patch up the damage first
Five, four, three, two, one, go!
We had our flight plans, but we lost 'em
We’re stuck in space now, think we got a problem
We got issues, we gotta solve em
I’m seeing red now, think we got a problem
How we gonna fix it?
How we gonna fix it?
I thought this was reality, it’s more like science fiction
We had our flight plans, but we lost 'em
We’re stuck in space now, think we got a problem
We thought the future was lookin’ so bright
Up in space it's always night
???
???
Five, four, three, two, one, go!
We had our flight plans, but we lost 'em
We’re stuck in space now, think we got a problem
We got issues, we gotta solve em
I’m seeing red now, think we got a problem
How we gonna fix it?
How we gonna fix it?
I thought this was reality, it’s more like science fiction
We had our flight plans, but we lost 'em
We’re stuck in space now, think we got a problem
We had our flight plans, but we lost 'em
We’re stuck in space now, think we got a problem
We got issues, we gotta solve em
I’m seeing red now, think we got a problem
How we gonna fix it?
How we gonna fix it?
I thought this was reality, it’s more like science fiction
We had our flight plans, but we lost 'em
We’re stuck in space now, think we got a problem
