I am somewhere in the city, I am climbing up a fire escape
I am somewhere in the city, I am climbing up a fire escape
I have gotta save my baby from a mess this world has made
I arrive through a window, I leave through a hole in the wall
I arrive through a window, I leave through a hole in the wall
And I scramble down the stairwell with my baby, cradle and all
Helicopter, helicopter let your long rope down
Let us sway into the sunset
I have done all I can do in this town
Tell 'em violence has taken the wind out of my sail
Tell 'em violence has taken the wind out of my sail
Helicopter has taken to breaking this dreaming spell
My mind is a-racing, my heart is prepared somehow
My mind is a-racing, my heart is prepared somehow
For that searchlight come shining and finds me under a cloud
Helicopter, helicopter let your long rope down
Let us sway into the sunset
I have done all I can do in this town
Helicopter, helicopter let your long rope down
Let us sway into the sunset
I have done all I can do in this town
