lyrics

I’ve been around the world
I’ve read a thousand words
Nothing strikes me now

Can’t put the apple back on the tree
Once I’ve seen it all, I can’t unsee
One, one two three
A religious being
So holy and pristine

Maybe the holy land isn’t a place
But a space inside your head
I think I’m on another planet
And I’m Doctor Manhattan
I’m spiraling like the nautilus shell
Under a mediterranean spell

My cards are read
The chariot, the chariot
My destiny is said
The chariot, the chariot
Down in the desert I can hear my silence screaming
Is it a lust for life
Or am I just running away, running away

I’ll let my spirit soar over the sands of the Sahara
I caught the sunrise at Angkor
I see it still in my eyes, it’s always in my eyes, the face of Bayon once upon a time
I climbed, the face of Bayon once upon a time
I’m alone, alone alone alone alone alone

I’ve been around the world, I’ve read a thousand words
I’ve been around the world, I’ve read a thousand
I’ve read, I’ve read

Can’t put the apple back on the tree
Once I’ve seen it all, I can’t unsee
I’m alone alone alone alone alone alone

One, one two three, I am losing me
One, one two three, I am losing me

My Saharan sands are running out of time
My hourglass, my hourglass

I’ll watch my spirit soar over the sands of the Sahara
I caught the sunrise at Angkor
I see it still in my eyes, it’s always in my eyes, the face of Bayon once upon a time
I climbed, the face of Bayon once upon a time

Is it a lust for life
Or am I just running away
Is it a lust for life
Or am I running away
