Lyrics: 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 station walls, the colors run To fill the swimming pool when I am done

I am the captain of an oil tanker that travels throuh your veins

When the satellites hang all around And I can finally hear the lovely sound When all the engines in the backroom 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 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

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 are the traffic and city lights
