the Ferris wheel turned when Jackie stood in front of me
the Ferris wheel turned when Jackie stood in front of me
the Ferris wheel turned when Jackie stood in front of me
in front of summer sun and roller coaster whizzing

the night turns to Easter, it’s my new birthday
the night turns to Easter, it’s my new birthday
the night turns to Easter, it’s my new birthday
just like the past life that comes back when you say

that we know about that (we know about that)
we know about that (we know about that)
we know about that, falling off a world that’s small and flat
we know about that (we know about that)
we know about that (we know about that)
All it takes to give, to die and live as a harborrat

c’mon and be my bomp-ba-bom, my shoo-bop-shoo-bop (bomp-ba-bom, bomp bomp-ba-bom)
c’mon and be my bomp-ba-bom, my shoo-bop-shoo-bop (bomp-ba-bom, bomp bomp-ba-bom)
c’mon and be my bomp-ba-bom, my shoo-bop-shoo-bop (bop shoo-wop, bop bop shoo-wop)
won’t you be my moon, my blue, blue moon

let’s sail down the sugar nile for a while
let’s sail down, down the sugar nile awhile
let’s go down, down, down the sugar nile awhile
baby close your eyes, I’ll take you just one mile

that we know about that (we know about that)
we know about that (we know about that)
we know about that, falling off a world that’s small and flat
we know about that (we know about that)
we know about that (we know about that)
All it takes to give, to die and live as a harborrat

remember the alarms
when they fall into your arms
and they drain you of your power
to stay in the waking hours

at party there you stood Elizabeth by another name
at party there you stood Elizabeth by another name
at party there you stood my sister by another name
I looked at you, you looked at me, we felt the same

when you’re feeling lost on life’s rural routes
when you’re feeling lost on one of life’s rural routes
when you’re feeling lost on life’s rural routes
I’ll save you from being stuck too far in the south

that we know about that (we know about that)
we know about that (we know about that)
we know about that, falling off a world that’s small and flat
we know about that (we know about that)
we know about that (we know about that)
All it takes to give, to die and live as a harborrat

remember the alarms
when they start to lose their charms
and the dreams all turn sour
meet me in the waking hours

There you stood, singing ‘long with the song once more
Behind the bar you stood singing ‘long with the song once more
Behind bar you stood, singing ‘long with the old songs once more
In moment born again, that’s what rock n’roll is for

All the blue moon kings and queens through storm swimming
All the blue moon kings and queens though the storm swimming
All the blue moon kings and queens through the storm to shore swimming
The red lighthouse in sight, tonight shining down bright

that we know about that (we know about that)
we know about that (we know about that)
we know about that, falling off a world that’s small and flat
we know about that (we know about that)
we know about that (we know about that)
All it takes to give, to die and live
what it took to live to try and give
what it took to live, to die and live as a harborrat

meet me in the waking hours
hear the foghorns blow
