break away from chaos 
take a beer and rest a while 
they're all glassed out and bloated 
they cannot raise a smile

one pilgrim soul is travelling 
still in touch with time 
and in love with far horizons 
for that's where our harbour lies

ambassadors of methane 
with crystals on their scales 
have flown in from the future 
with starlight in their sails

their bags are full of samples 
all these things they think we need 
like gunpowder smallpox and Jesus 
dynamite and beads

just one poor soul is travelling 
a witness to his time 
and in love with far horizons 
for that's where our harbour lies

towers of glass are falling 
into lakes of frozen tears 
I'm rolling, rolling up my stories 
I'm getting out of here

we're flying high on a wing and a prayer 
I hope we know when we get there
