Swing Lo Magellan Lyrics - Unknown Mortal Orchestra

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 naked 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
