lyrics

There was a time before we launched the ships and waved the world goodbye
We thought we’d be home soon enough
For seven weeks of storms and snakes the endless blue road to Shanghai
The ocean finally called our bluff

The islands stretch for miles
Parched by the sun, the mind’s own tempest leaves no raft
Beyond the ocean’s trial
Back home you’re just a waterlogged old photograph
Lost at sea!

The captain was the first to lose the puzzle pieces of his mind
A jigsaw shattered by the tide
He cast the vessel toward the looming seacliff like a man gone blind
The storms and snakes his only guide

The islands stretch for miles
Parched by the sun, the mind’s own tempest leaves no raft
Beyond the ocean’s trial
Back home you’re just a waterlogged old photograph
Lost at sea!
