0:02SWIMMING IN MIAMI
0:07I'm alone above the atmosphere
0:12And no one looking up can find me here
0:14Cuz I can close my eyes and disappear
0:22When I climb the stairs to watch the sun
0:25Above the station walls the colors run
0:29To fill the swimming pool when I am done
0:32I am the captain of an oil tanker
0:39That travels through your veins
0:43When the satellites hang all around
0:46And I can finally hear the lovely sound
0:50When all the engines in the back room die down
0:52All the airships move across the sky
1:01And my equipment just keeps standing by
1:04The planets glow and intensify
1:12I am the pilot of a cargo airplane
1:14That travels through your veins
1:18When you are lying half asleep in your room
1:25Unaware if it is midnight or afternoon
1:28Because the water doesn't flood the stairwell
1:39It could be raining but then you can never tell
1:42If you're alone in this awful downpour
1:49Then struggle free and paddle out the cellar door
2:05In the evening light the boulevard
2:06Conceals the night with dis-regard
2:11For all the workers in a West Coast shipyard
2:15When I rearrange the silverware
2:22And reinstall the lights and captain's chair
2:26I'll lift the ceiling off to breathe the ocean air
2:29I am the engineer of 40 freight trains
2:36That travel through your veins
2:38When you are lying half asleep in your room
2:47Unaware if it is midnight or afternoon
2:53Because the water doesn't flood the stairwell
3:01It could be raining but then you can never tell
3:08If you're awake in this awful downpour
3:10Then struggle free and paddle out the cellar door
3:23When you are swimming in Miami at night
3:25I'm all around you in the traffic and city light
SWIMMING IN MIAMI I'm alone above the atmosphere And no one looking up can find me here Cuz 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 night with dis-regard For all the workers in a West Coast shipyard When I rearrange the silverware And reinstall the lights and captain's chair I'll lift the ceiling off to breathe the ocean air I am the engineer of 40 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
