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 night, with disregard For all the workers in a west coast shipyard 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 And all around you in the traffic and city lights
