Antarctica

Left behind everything I knew
All the colors but bone white and sky blue
Hit the continent running
Engines were humming just to break through
Antarctica, my only living relative
Antarctica, I can't wait anymore.

Under ice there's a world moving slow
Carnelian stars and the bars down below
Serve only vodka and gin
I try to stay drunk so nobody knows
Antarctica, my only living relative
Antarctica, I can't wait anymore
I can't wait anymore.

And then there's morning
Each one feels like the first one
A morning, so clean, so pure
Nothing so clear now that I'm here.

When I get back to the city
Everything's cluttered and pretty
I won't regret my return
I'll just remember the wind, and the snow
And the howling so loud that it alone drowns out the inside of me.

Antarctica, my only living relative
Antarctica, I can't wait anymore
I can't wait anymore, I can't wait anymore.

Carnelian stars and the bars down below
Serve only vodka and gin
Carnelian stars and the bars down below.
