lyrics

Sat in the sun Gobi road
Did rhetoric with Cicero
Neath an olive branch on Aegean seas
Got stoical with Diogenes

And all the things she taught me to fit in a life where no-one cries
In the distillery of wisdom I refined a brew to clear the skies

On the prow Eric the red
Nailed sagas deep inside my head
Vestal virgins wailed away
what they told I could not say

took my time on the Bakerloo
so I finished catch 22
like yossarian I sailed away
don’t want to fight another day

you can go ahead any fly without me
You can go ahead I’m happy here
You can go ahead and test the waters
Just don’t forget the way back home

At the pequod helm saw the great white whale
Crown of thorns and a bleeding nail
I left him dive and I took the wheel
But in the headlights sometimes I get that feel
