Just keep swimming, swimming, swimming…

Nightswimming deserves a quiet night  
I’m not sure all these people understand  
It’s not like years ago  
The fear of getting caught  
The recklessness in water  
They cannot see me naked  
These things they go away  
Replaced by every day

We took off our clothes  
Threw em in the bushes  
Mud between our toes  
Bare white tushes lord  
How’d he get me to do it  
How’d he talked me into it  
Sunlight on the river glistened  
And we were skinny dippin’

Trudging slowly over wet sand  
To the bench where your clothes were stolen  
This is the seaside town  
that they forgot to close down  
Come armageddon, come armageddon  
Come Come nuclear bomb.

Ninety-nine knights of the air  
Riding super high-tech jet fighters  
Everyone’s a super hero  
Everyone’s a Captain Kirk  
With orders to identify, to clarify and classify  
Scrambling in the summer sky  
As ninety-nine red balloons go by  
Ninety-nine red balloons go by  
Ninety-nine dreams I have had  
Every one a red balloon  
Now it’s all over and I’m standin’ pretty  
In this dust that was a city

You belong to the night.

She must belong to San Francisco  
She must have lost her way  
Postin’ a poster of Poncho and Cisco  
One California day  
She said she believes in Robin Hood and brotherhood  
And colours of green and grey  
And all you can do is laugh at her  
Doesn’t anybody know how to pray?

Would you hold my hand  
If I saw you in heaven?  
Would you help me stand  
If I saw you in heaven?  
I’ll find my way through night and day  
'Cause I know I just can’t stay here in heaven

Close your eyes, give me your hand, darlin’  
Do you feel my heart beating  
Do you understand  
Do you feel the same  
Am I only dreaming, ah  
Is this burning an eternal flame

Burn out the day  
Burn out the night  
I can’t see no reason to put up a fight  
I’m living for giving the devil his due  
And I’m burning, I’m burning, I’m burning for you

A fire burns inside me  
The snow still falls in flakes  
The reins around a horse’s throat  
Turn into a lake

And people so familiar  
Their words are in my mind  
A fire burns inside me  
Dancing cool and blind

Beside the wall the flowers grow  
And down the sticky stems I go  
Watching changing skies below  
Your arms so far away

Just like they said to me  
Life is worth another stay

Dance with me!  
I want to be your partner  
Can’t you see?

Heaven  
I’m in heaven  
And my heart beats  
So that I can hardly speak  
And I seem to find  
The happiness I seek  
When we’re out together  
Dancing cheek to cheek

You and me  
We used to be together  
Everyday together always  
I really feel  
That I’m losing my best friend  
I can’t believe  
This could be the end  
It looks as though you’re letting go  
And if it’s real  
Well I don’t want to know

Don’t speak  
I know just what you’re saying  
So please stop explaining  
Don’t tell me cause it hurts  
Don’t speak  
I know what you’re thinking  
I don’t need your reasons  
Don’t tell me cause it hurts

Don’t want to know who’s to blame.  
It won’t help, knowing.  
Don’t want to fight day and night-  
It’s bad enough you’re going.

Don’t leave in silence, with no word at all.  
Don’t get drunk and slam the door.  
That’s no way to end this.  
I know how I  
Want you to say goodbye.

Take me to a park that’s covered with trees.  
Tell me on a Sunday, please.

Saturday in the park  
I think it was the Fourth of July  
Saturday in the park  
I think it was the Fourth of July  
People dancing, people laughing  
A man selling ice cream  
Singing Italian songs  
Eh curare! Itza nice Ey!  
Can you dig it (yes, I can)  
And I’ve been waiting such a long time  
For Saturday

Another Saturday night  
And I ain’t got nobody  
I got some money 'cause I just got paid  
How I wish I had someone to talk to  
I’m in an awful way
