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 the mess this world has made
 


I arrive through a window
I leave through a whole in the wall
  
I arrive through a window
I leave through a whole in the wall

  
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

interlude-      


Tom, violence has taken
the wind out of my sail

Tom, violence has taken
                       
the wind out of my sail

Helicopter has taken to
breaking this dreamin' spell
 

Interlude -       



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 find 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.
