I'm alone above the atmosphere And no looking up can find me here Cause I can close my eyes, and disappear When I climb the stairs to watch the sun Above station walls, the colors run To fill swimming pool when I am done
I am the captain of an oil tanker that travels through your veins
When the satellites hang all around And I can hear the lovely sound When all 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 am the pilot of a airplane that travels through your veins
When you are lying half asleep in your room Unaware if it is midnight or afternoon Because the water doesn't flood the stairwell could be raining but you can never tell
If you're alone in this awful downpour Then struggle free and paddle out the cellar door
In the evening the boulevard Conceals the night in disregard For all the 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 to breathe the ocean air
I am the engineer 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 the water doesn't flood the stairwell It could be raining but you can never tell'
If awake in this awful downpour Then struggle 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
