Swimming In Miami |
I’m alone above the atmosphere |
And no one looking up can find me here |
‘Cause I can close my eyes, and disappear |
When I climb the stairs, to watch the sun |
Above the station walls, the colors 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 hang all around |
And I can finally hear the lovely sound |
When all the engines in 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 cargo 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 |
It could be raining, but then you can never tell |
If you’re alone in this awful downpour |
Then struggle free and paddle out the cellar door |
In the evening light, the boulevard |
Conceals the nigh, t with disregard |
For all the workers in the west coast ship yard |
When I rearrange, the silverware |
And re-install the lights, in captain’s chair |
I’ll lift the ceiling off to breathe the ocean air |
I am the engineer of forty freight trains that travel 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 |
It could be raining, but then you can never tell |
If you’re awake in this awful downpour |
Then struggle free and paddle out the cellar door |
When you are swimming in Miami at night |
I’m all around you in the traffic and city light |
