A I'm alone above the EatmospDhere

 And no one looking up can fAind me hEere

 To fill the swimming pF♯mool when I am doneD

 And I can finally hear the Alovely soEund

 When all the engines in the F♯mbackroom die downD

 And my equipment just keeps Astanding Eby

 The planets F♯mglow and intensify D

E I am the pilot of a F♯mcargo airplaneA that travels Dthrough your Eveins

Bm Then struggle free and paddle Aout the cellar doorE

Verse 3

as verses 1 & 2)

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 captian'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

Bm Unaware if it is midAnight or afternoonE

Bm Because the water doesn't Aflood the stairwellE

Bm It could be raining but then Ayou can never tell E
