An unwilling sailor adrift from Artic waters
As the water gets warmer, my iceburg gets smaller
As he pours more petrol on, he feels no fear
As the flames get nearer, its thought gets clearer
A blue-white polar bear arrives at the end
Diverting his attention, his feelings froze over
I'm only a runaway AWOL at the logical start
Not present in the present, overboard with limited future
And I'm standing alone still getting a thrill
While the ship is afloat, he's losing his boat

If you find that your life
would be better off without me,
If you run at full speed
And it feels good to be free,
If you know it in your soul
though it's hard to let it go,
you better run,
you better run.
If you lift it from the ground,
know you're never coming down,
Babe, if you're a boxer
and you can't stand another round,
If you're free to make a sound
and your heart began to pound.
you better run,
you better run.

But the one thing that I ask,
that you live without reserve,
that you find out what you need,
show what you deserve.

All the time that we had,
do you think it was a waste?
For what good's a memory
without some sort of taste?
and does the value rise
if it cannot be replaced?
you better run,
you better run.

But the one thing that I ask,
that you live without reserve,
that you find out what you need,
show what you deserve.

You better run,
you better run.

But the one thing that I ask,
that you live without reserve,
and I know it hurts for now,
but there's always something learned.
So don't turn around,
don't lose your footing now
and don't lose your nerve.
Gonna find out what you need,
gonna show what you deserve.

Pull up a flag, or light a fire, or send up a flare
Build me a beacon, seems there's no other way out of here
Inform the local correspondent
Tell him to phone in, tell the papers, put it over the air

I'm marooned(?)

Build me a schooner, or a punt, or a dug-out canoe
A Sputnik, a bi-plane, just a rusty jalopy will do
Call the folks and say I'm castaway
I'll even resort to taking chances in a hot air balloon

Marooned,marooned ...
