I'm alone above the atmosphere And no one looking up can find me here Cause I can close my and disappear When I climb the stairs to watch the sun Above station walls, the run To fill the swimming pool when I am done
I am the captain of an oil tanker that travels through your veins
When the satellites all around And I can hear the lovely sound When all the engines of the back room die down All the airships move across the sky And my equipment just keeps standing by The planets glow and intensify
I the pilot of a cargo airplane that travels through your veins
When you are lying half asleep in your room Unaware if is midnight or afternoon Because the water doesn't flood the stairwell It could be raining but you can never tell
If you're alone in this awful downpour Then struggle free and paddle out the door
In the evening night the boulevard Conceals the night in For all the workers in a west coast ship yard When I rearrange the silverware And re-install the lights and captain's chair I'll lift the ceiling off to breathe the ocean air
I am the of forty freight trains that travels through your veins
When you are lying half asleep in your room Unaware if it is midnight or afternoon Because water doesn't flood the stairwell It could be raining but you can never tell'
If you're awake in this awful downpour Then free and paddle out the cellar door When you are swimming in Miami at night And all around you are the traffic and city lights
