Intro: (2x) Sailing 'cross the seas pursuing sorry ships don't know they're sinking - Holding on until all hope is gone Focusing my eyes on distant stars so far away they're blinking - On and off and on and off and on - But the bird in my hand promises pa-a-radise INTERLUDE: Venture forth from cave to conquer everything that's moving - Pleasure never really lasted very long Roller coaster ride the lows, the highs, feels like you're grooving - Though it's on and off and on and off and on But the bird in my hand promises paradise Bridge: All the actors in your play Will do their part and go their way Or dance as long as you will pay But she will never fly away INTERLUDE: Man behind the curtain pulls the levers for the sheep - For me tonight there'll be no sleep until the dawn Neon sign from Paradise Hotel across the street - Is blinking on and off and on and off and on And the bird in my hand is promising paradise OUTRO: (## repeat and fade to end ##) Hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm
