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
Hot child in the city
Runnin’ wild and lookin’ pretty…
You belong to the 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?
Our Father, who art in heaven,
Hallowed be Thy name.
Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done,
In earth as it is in heaven.
Heaven knows it’s not the way it should be
And heaven knows it’s not the way it could be
And don’t you know there’s no need to leave
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
