Lyrics
Last night all my attention squinting westward at the sunset with a map and a compass When a man reached up, said something There, against the sky, a ball of light too invisible to give itself to the f*cking eye On the shore, people yelling In their eyes a great reflection In the griddle where they're positioned Unconcerned with intuition There could never be not a sympathy from that wilderness so let it be arrested Swing low, oh Magellan 9 by 6 or 8 by 7 Post a sentinel at the border of what you attempt, what you ignore I saw my friend in a pool of light all drowned in doubt and shame and I knew that I had lost my sight
