lyrics

the coracle, the caravel
innocent antiquities
aloft a day sidereal
from home to west of tripoli
spinning swift dirigible
in a softly swelling cascade
the earth she sways so suddenly
and sweeps away

21 knots my brothers ho!
if we wanna get home
then we gotta keep going the wrong way
30 more minutes to the libyan front
if we wanna keep going
we're gonna have to drop our load

mathematicians, entrepreneurs
citizens, where did we go wrong?
oh careening innovators
what have we become?

november 1st is cold as hell
even in a desert
the frontier looms before us
ever so thoughtfully
such great heights
and barren as a child

21 knots my brothers ho!
if we wanna get home
then we gotta keep going the wrong way
30 more minutes to the libyan front
if we wanna keep going
we're gonna have to drop our load

mathematicians, entrepreneurs
citizens, where did we go wrong?
oh careening innovators
what have we become?

but wait
there must have been some mistake
maybe i'm wrong after all
and as the fire fills the sky
and the ship catches light
i know now the truth of it all

the bomb is love!
thank god we finally see!
the bomb is love!
and grace and mercy and sweetness and serenity!
yes!
