I was on my way to Paris set adrift for the very first time
I had never felt embarrassed cause what I did committed no crime
Try to understand mechanics the art of love beguiles us all
The armies of Ovid are famished and Rome is about to fall
It's time for us to start a new city volcanoes are burning below
The archeology is pretty and Atlantis is about to explode
You and I should be sailors the only way to know is a dance
I wrote about it in the shantys do you think this moment is a chance
Lying next to you is famous prophecy comes with a price
Danger is all around us no one said you had to be nice
I'm almost afraid to say it would it mean it doesnt come true
An ocean of fear between us and so many many things to do
The boat you brought me on is
Damaged blue lightning rages through the sky
Everything is dark and cherished and the air is warm and dry
The ground beneath is ancient the story is old enough to tell
The newness of our love is ageless but why do i know it so well
I know you think i'm callous forevers getting closer all the time
Whatever it is you think matters i'm sure that everything is fine
A rich man can be poor a poor man can be rich
What do you think our life is for what are you going to pick
Now it is time to go now we are going on a trip
Wherever the wind may blow you and I are building a ship
