There’s a ship going far   Off to a better place than here   If I could only get aboard it   I’d be forgotten within a year   But it’s only fit for a captain   So it’ll never happen      A thousand miles of salt and rocks   From warm to cold then from cold to shock   Oh, if I could make it across   But I’d surely get lost      Chorus   Devotion to find a greater place to be   I won’t find it by trying to cross over the sea   They filled the ocean with sand but it was all in vain   No one’s ego is big enough to try to play their game      Continents diVided by pure blue   The coast is a place to dream   When I dream about here I blame it on all of you   Sometimes this dull land makes me want to scream   But then everyone would hear me   Isolation is only to the east      A hundred miles of buildings and dust   The houses are rotting and the metal’s starting to rust   Oh, this place lacks nature’s lust   Instead of a boat I’ll have to take the bus      Chorus      All the sand in the ocean, I could never walk across it   They could drain half the ocean, I would still sink      Chorus
