Antarctica

Left behind everything I knewAll the colors but bone-white and sky-blueHit the continent runningEngines were humming just to break throughAntarctica, my only living relativeAntarctica, I can't wait anymoreUnder ice there's a world moving slowCarnelian stars and the bars down belowServe only vodka and ginI try to stay drunk so nobody knowsAntarctica, my only living relativeAntarctica, I can't wait anymoreI can't wait anymoreAnd then there's morningEach one feels like the first oneAh, morning, so clean, so pureNothing so clear, now that I'm hereWhen I get back to the cityEverything's cluttered and prettyI won't regret my returnI'll just remember the wind and the snowAnd the howling so loudThat it alone drowns out the inside of meAntarctica, my only living relativeAntarctica, I can't wait anymoreI can't wait anymoreI can't wait anymore
