lyrics

Only your smile can make me smile,
only your call can make me pick up the phone,
only your voice sounds like it means well.
And I've never been imprisoned or jailed
Only enclosed within borders no one drew
No one marked, but still enforced
And I paid to cross them, a stowaway I crossed them

And I found another Earth,
Hospitable if you play by the rules,
Breaking them compromises health,
I’ll be sick with you.

Corto Maltese could have been your dad,
Sideburns and a burning cigarette
Furrowed brow beneath your hat.
And I’ve never seen the Land of the Rising Sun,
I’ve only sailed the warmer seas of Western hemisphere
And their Gulf Stream
And I paid to cross them, a stowaway I crossed them

And I found another Earth,
Hospitable if you play by the rules,
Breaking them compromises health,
I’ll be sick with you.

These are the times of stowaways,
Single-minded, perennially late,
Parties go on a little duller when stowaways move on.
And I found another Earth,
Hospitable if you play by the rules,
Breaking them compromises health,
I’ll be sick with you.
