Pumping (My Heart) Lyrics by Patti Smith Group

Radio Ethiopia

1976

[Verse 1]
Oh, I see you stare spi-spi-pi-pi-pi-piraling up there
And oh-oh, into the center of my brain
And baby come baby go and free the hurricane
Oh I go into the center of the airplane
Baby gotta move to the center of my pain
And my heart starts pumping, my fists start pumping
[Chorus]
Upset total abandon
You know I love you so
Total abandon
Oh, well, well, well
[Verse 2]
Oh, I see you stare spi-spi-pi-pi-pi-piraling up there
And oh-oh, into the center of my brain
And baby come baby go and free the hurricane
Oh I go into the center of the airplane
Baby gotta box in the center of the ring
And my heart starts pumping, my fists start pumping
[Chorus]
Upset total abandon
You know I love you so
Total abandon
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, ah
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 3]
Oh, I go into the center of the airplane
Baby gotta go to the center of my brain
And my heart starts pumping, my fists start pumping
Got no recollection of my past reflection
So I'm free to move in the resurrection
My heart starts pumping my fists start pumping
[Outro]
My heart pumping
My heart pumping
My heart pumping
Coming in the airport, coming in the sea
Coming in the garden, got a conscious stream
Coming in a washroom, coming on a plane
Coming in a force field, coming in my brain
And my heart, my heart
Total abandon, total abandon, total abandon, total abandon, total abandon, total abandon, total abandon
Oh I go into the center of the airplane
Baby gotta move to the center of my brain
My heart
