Adventurer lyrics
by Reed Lou



You're an adventurerYou sail across the oceansYou climb the HimalayasSeeking truth and beauty as a natural stateYou're a queen rebornWorshipped from above afarSome see you as an elixirAn elemental natural seeking perfect graceIn a catacombOr cave of endless drawingsPrehistoric or religiousYour accomplishments prodigiousSeeking out the perfect toneYour language so clearYour voice perfectly turningAs in the city I sit yearningBlowing rings of smoke from thin cigarsOr driving fast in foreign carsTo capture your remainsYou're an adventurerA turban wet wrapped round your headOn the mountainside they predict your deathOh how you fooled them allBut subjects are a poor excuseWhen what you really want's a museAn inspirating knowledge of what comes beforeSpeeds of lightThe momentary flicker of a candle in its wicker basketSmoking wax - Facts!Did you find that superior knowledge that eluded you in collegeDid you find that super vortex that could cause your cerebral cortexto lose its gripYou're an adventurerYou were out looking for meaningWhile the rest of us were steaming in an inspirating urban pitAn adventurerYou enter as I'm dreamingI wish I'd never wake upDifferentiating scheming from my one true loveYou're an adventurerYou love the angles and the cherriesThe height and width of leviesThe natural bridge and tunnels of the human raceYou're an adventurerNothing seem to scare you and if it does it won't dissuade youYou just will not think about itYou dismiss it and defocusYou redefine the locus of your time in space - Race!As you move further from me and though I understand the thinkingAnd have often done the sane thing I find parts of me goneYou're an adventurerAnd though I'll surely miss youAnd of course I'll survive without you and maybe good will come of thatBut at this point I anticipate some grievingAnd although I know your leavingIs a necessary adjunct to what we both doAn adventurerSplitting up the atomSplitting up the once wasSplitting up the essenceOf our star-crossed fateNone who meet you do forget youMy adventurer, my adventurerMy adventuress
