We've lived in bars
And danced on tables
Hotel trains and ships that sail

We swim with sharks
And fly with aeroplanes in the air


Send in the trumpets
The marching wheelchairs
Open the blankets and give them some air

Swords and arches bones and cement
The light and the dark of the innocent of men


We know your house so very well
And we will wake you once we've walked up
All your stairs


There's nothing like living in a bottle
And nothing like ending it all for the world

We're so glad you will come back
Every living lion will lay in your lap
The kid has a homecoming the champion the horse

Who's going to play drums, guitar or organ with chorus
As far as we've walked from both of ends of the sand
Never have we caught a glimpse of this man


We know your house so very well
And we will bust down your door if you're not there


We've lived in bars
And danced on tables

Hotel trains and ships that sail
We swim with sharks
And fly with aeroplanes out of here
