The smartest men, they built a rocket
Aimed it at a target far, far, far away
But by the time they knew they lost it
It was a long way, was a long way, was a long way
We're a long way, we're a long way, we're a long way off
The smartest men, they saw a world with
Corners and endings far, far, far away
But when they drew it out and searched it
They were a long way, were a long way, were a long way
We're a long way, we're a long way, we're a long way
We're a long way, we're a long way, we're a long way
We're a long way, we're a long way, we're a long way off
The erudite composed a thesis
Everything we see is all, all, all there is
But as an apophatic mystic
We're a long way, we're a long way, we're a long way
We're a long way, we're a long way, we're a long way off
We're a long way, we're a long way, we're a long way
We're a long way, we're a long way, we're a long way
We're a long way, we're a long way, we're a long way
We're a long way, we're a long way, we're a long way off
When the waves of time wash the shores stark clean
of the memories, the last of me
With my castles gone to the constant sea
