Midnight Plane to Nairobi
Thinking about the waves rolling over the ocean
Thinking about going where I will
Thinking about fighting for money again
Or digging for emeralds in the jungles of Brazil

My brother took the midnight plane to Nairobi
Now he's dancing on the mountains of the moon
Took it to Kilimanjaro
Tony went to Tibet
But I ain't been there yet
My brother's out there dancing on the mountains of the moon

Thinking about all the beaches there in Jamaica
Thinking about going real soon, yeah
Thinking about fighting for my life on funky city streets
While my brother's out there dancing on the mountains of the moon
(Dancing in the night on Kilimanjaro, mountains of the moon)
(Meet my brother on Kilimanjaro, mountains of the moon)

Thinking about sitting here in the basement
Holed up trying to write these damned old tunes, yeah
Wishing I could be with my brother across the sea, sea, yeah
Dancing on the mountains, on the mountains of the moon
My brother took the midnight plane to Nairobi
Now he's dancing on the mountains of the moon
Took it to Kilimanjaro
Tony went to Tibet
I ain't been there yet
My brother's out there dancing on the mountains of the moon

(Dancing in the night on Kilimanjaro, mountains of the moon)
Well, we'll be dancing
(Meet my brother on Kilimanjaro, mountains of the moon)
Well, we'll be dancing
(Dancing in the night on Kilimanjaro, mountains of the moon)
Well, we'll be dancing, dancing in the night on Kilimanjaro
(Meet my brother on Kilimanjaro, mountains of the moon)
(We'll be dancing in the night on Kilimanjaro, mountains of the moon)
(Meet my brother on Kilimanjaro, mountains of the moon)
