Steam ship, sail down the river. Fight the mosquitoes that fly in a swarm. White smoke covers the jungle. See Dr. Livingston land with a thunk. Young women weep for their dying babies.
Another pleasant day in the countryside. Ended up in tears on a stormy night. 'Cause you can't follow my directions home. Don't stop now. . God knows where the satellite's taking us.
Fairy lights like the stars. You could be lost but here you are. It's Halloween, on the street. You came looking for me. . I'm sealed in tight, through the double glass.
Sat by the window, widow sat. And dreamed of planes in silhouette. In cloud formations overhead. . Oh, you better get there when it matters. When she's taking off, you will really need to hold on tight.
Tell me all the things you would change. I don't pretend to know what you want. When you come around and spin my top. Time and again, time and again. No fire where I lit my spark.
There is freedom within. there is freedom without. Try to catch a deluge in a paper cup. There's a battle ahead. many battles are lost. But you'll never see the end of the road.
