Better keep your distance from this whale
Better keep your boat from going astray
Find yourself a partner and treat them well
Try to give them shelter night and day
cause here in this blue light
Far away from the fireside
Things can get twisted and crazy and crowded
You cant even feel right
So you dream of columbus
Ever time the panic starts
You dream of columbus
With your maps and your beautiful charts
You dream of columbus
With an ache in your travelling heart
See how the cormorant swoops and dives
Must be some thrill to go that deep
Down to the basement of this life
