lyrics

Here Be Dragons

Sail away from the sideboard’s dusty flowers
From the doilies and the wax fruit and the bells
Sail away from decay and jobs and lovers
Bring down the night shades on all our old beliefs

So sing another song boys
You who say you love the girls
Sing another song boys
Is this longing and desire, the only tight wire
The only life sign to shake the lice and drink the lime

We heard it all, of nature and religion
Saw mystic symbols and so many sacred signs
We hear the heroes brought freedom to the candles
And in the morning not a single one was saved

So sing another song boys
You who say you love the girls
Sing another song boys
Is this longing and desire only cold fire
The only true shore-line, to help you dull the siren’s song

Burn the lifeboats, smash the compass, tie the madmen
Keep a straight watch, throw the horses overboard
Wash the corpses in the last of the sweet wine
See the edge of the world dissolving in the sky
Land, land ho
Land, land ho

So in this ship, don’t ever ask for shelter
On this ship don’t ever look to stay
Here be men, here be God and here be dragons
Here be mirrors, here be donkeys, here be slaves

So sing another song boys
If you really love the girls
Sing another song boys
Is this longing and desire
The only tight wire
Only cold fire
Our only tight rope
Our only high wire
Our only vague hope

Hoo-ray and up she rises early in the morning
