On a leap of faith I found myself On the banks of the River Nile Don't look up and don't look down I was lost, but I wasn't out Someone called an ambulance I heard the siren loud and clear So I dived into the water deep And I aimed for the frontier And it ain't so hard to float downstream When you're stuck in the middle of a summer dream A captain needs a ship if he's gonna Navigate the storm A boatman needs some wind if he's gonna sail From shore to shore Delta flowers go to seed And the grass gets overgrown I'm gonna live forever But you'll never get to Heaven if you stay too long But it ain't so hard to float downstream When you're stuck in the middle of a summer dream The captain said, "Now you've made your bed Now it's time to settle down" But I can't do that and I can't do this If I'm stuck in the Aswan Dam Can't look up and you can't look down Can't look up and you can't look down Can't look up and you can't look down Can't look up and you can't look down Can't look up and you can't look down Can't do this and you can't do that Can't do this and you can't do that
