Lyrics
Packed in, all else turned in
No one to see on the quay, no one waving for me
Just the shoreline receding, tour ticket in my hand
I'm thinking, "Wish I didn't hand it in"
'Cause who said sailing is fine
Leaving behind all the faces that I might retrace
If I tried on that long ride, looking deep inside?
But I don't wanna look too deep inside yet
Set out, set out on the prow to wave bye
There might not be another star further on the line
Look out, look out at each town that glides by
There's another crowd to drown in crying eyes
And see how that light you love now just won't shine
There might just be another star
But it's high and far in some other sky
We sing, "Is that marionette real enough yet
To step off of that set to decide what a dance might be?"
Doin' ruin in the play to win the instant we may lay escape
We packed up all of our bags
Ship's deck now sags from the weight of our tracks
As we pace beneath flags, blackened, battered
Rattling our swords in service of some faded foreign lords
Sail out on orders from him, but we find
The maps they sent to us, they don't mention lost coastlines
And nothing we've actually seen has been mapped or outlined
And we don't recognize the names upon these signs
Every night finds us rockin' and rollin' on waves wild and wide
Where we have lost our way, nobody's gonna say it outright
So we just go la-la, la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la-la-la
Whoa-oh-oh-oh
La, la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la
La, la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la
