chasing the fireflies
tickled by a breeze
memories are sweet lies
they linger to tease

where'd you go old friend
you disappeared like a ghost
where will you run to next
will you head for the coast

where all our souls swim free
like angels in the sea
where all our souls swim free
and they will bury me
with all my old friends
at eternity's end

swing from the grapevine
like tarzan and jane
searching for goldmines
with lust in our veins

where'd you go old friend
you disappeared like a ghost
where will you run to next
will you head for the coast

where all our souls swim free
like angels in the sea
where all our souls swim free
and they will bury me
with all my new friends
at eternity's end

42nd street
my feet are freezing cold
walking past an old man
and his cardboard home
at one time he was just a boy
underneath these bright lights
now burned out and alone
there's gridlock down 5th avenue
and i wish i was having you for dinner
by candlelight
but you're imaginary
maybe i need therapy
what are you looking at moon
you wanna fight?
i see you up there with the stars
i hear you laughing with those creatures from mars
i gotta escape this cage
this prison within
i've gotta get out of these bars
where liquor's thicker than blood
and i'm just a pig
dancing in this mud
so bathe me, baby
bathe me in the sea
bathe me, so i can be free

all my dreams are fading fast
face the shore, and wave goodbye

swimming in a shallow sea
