Swimming In Miami

[Verse 1] I'm alone above the atmosphere And no one looking up can find me here Because I can close my eyes, and disappear When I climb the stairs to watch the sun Above 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 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 am the pilot of a cargo airplane that travels through your veins [Chorus] 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 you can never tell If you're alone in this awful downpour Then struggle free and paddle out the cellar door [Verse 2] In the evening night the boulevard Conceals the night in disregard 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 engineer of forty freight trains that travels through your veins [Chorus] [Outro] When you are swimming in Miami at night And all around you are the traffic and city lights
