There's a river flowing up into the sky,
To the sky...
There are trees with human heads parading by,
Sailing by...
And the hands of giants hold the gates in the clouds,
in the clouds
Up there where the dragons fly,
Round and round...
Straight to your head,
You stop me from growing up, you show me.
Straight to your head,
You keep me from shutting down, believe me.
I'll never leave you, it doesn't matter what you do,
'Cause I can go straight to your head,
To be close to you.
Outside in the night the burglar creeps,
Oh he creeps, yeah he creeps.
In the flowers behind the house the princess sleeps,
Oh she sleeps, yeah she sleeps.
In the land between the lamp-posts
everything is black,
And here we come a-stepping
on the cracks...
Straight to your head,
You stop me from growing up, you show me.
Straight to your head,
You keep me from shutting down, believe me.
I'll never leave you, it doesn't matter what you do,
'Cause I can go straight to your head,
To be close to you.
I used to only see
What I was looking for,
And I used to only hear
What I'd heard before.
Now I'm looking all around,
And now I'm walking,
Walking downtown.
Straight to your head...
I'll never leave you, it doesn't matter what you do,
'Cause I can go straight to your head,
I can go straight to your head...
To be close to you.
To the sky...
There are trees with human heads parading by,
Sailing by...
And the hands of giants hold the gates in the clouds,
