Adventurer Lyrics - Reed Lou

You're an adventurer 

You sail across the oceans 

You climb the Himalayas 

Seeking truth and beauty as a natural state 

You're a queen reborn 

Worshipped from above afar 

Some see you as an elixir 

An elemental natural seeking perfect grace 

In a catacomb 

Or cave of endless drawings 

Prehistoric or religious 

Your accomplishments prodigious 

Seeking out the perfect tone 

Your language so clear 

Your voice perfectly turning 

As in the city I sit yearning 

Blowing rings of smoke from thin cigars 

Or driving fast in foreign cars 

To capture your remains 

You're an adventurer 

A turban wet wrapped round your head 

On the mountainside they predict your death 

Oh how you fooled them all 

But subjects are a poor excuse 

When what you really want's a muse 

An inspirating knowledge of what comes before 

Speeds of light 

The momentary flicker of a candle in its wicker basket 

Smoking wax - Facts! 

Did you find that superior knowledge that eluded you in college 

Did you find that super vortex that could cause your cerebral cortex 

to lose its grip 

You're an adventurer 

You were out looking for meaning 

While the rest of us were steaming in an inspirating urban pit 

An adventurer 

You enter as I'm dreaming 

I wish I'd never wake up 

Differentiating scheming from my one true love 

You're an adventurer 

You love the angles and the cherries 

The height and width of levies 

The natural bridge and tunnels of the human race 

You're an adventurer 

Nothing seem to scare you and if it does it won't dissuade you 

You just will not think about it 

You dismiss it and defocus 

You redefine the locus of your time in space - Race! 

As you move further from me and though I understand the thinking 

And have often done the sane thing I find parts of me gone 

You're an adventurer 

And though I'll surely miss you 

And of course I'll survive without you and maybe good will come of that 

But at this point I anticipate some grieving 

And although I know your leaving 

Is a necessary adjunct to what we both do 

An adventurer 

Splitting up the atom 

Splitting up the once was 

Splitting up the essence 

Of our star-crossed fate 

None who meet you do forget you 

My adventurer, my adventurer 

My adventuress
