It only takes the time between here and there   For landing in another place   Saw your shadow fleeting in the corner of my eye   Your feet were skimming the sand   And then some began to fly   Lasted no time at all, no time at all, no time at all      Gliding like a whale   In and out of hotels   Gliding like a whale   In and out of hotels      The flower seller told the tale   Saw you kiss the king one minute   Then the next, set sail   Two places in one time and that's not all   In one you're swimming to the limit   Then the next you're riding whales      This clever never no man's land   Angels whisper that you're winning   And stars that leave no trail   It took you no time to leave the land   When you kissed the king one minute   And the next you're setting sail      Gliding like a whale   In and out of hotels   Gliding like a whale   In and out of hotels      Gliding like a whale   Gliding like a whale   Gliding like a whale   In and out of hotels   Gliding like a whale
