1
The man who sailed around his soul
2
From East to West, from pole to pole
3
With ego as his drunken captain
4
Greed, the mutineer, had trapped all reason in the hold
5
The man who walked across his heart
6
Who took no compass, guide or chart
7
To rope and tar his blood congealed
8
When he found his self revealed ugly and cold
9
And the Sirens that sing
10
By your nose with its ring
11
They'll drag you in
12
For your sins
13
Now he sits all alone
14
And it's no place like home
15
It's empty skin
16
A bag to keep life's souvenirs in
17
The man who sailed around his soul
18
The man who sailed around his soul
19
The man who sailed around his soul
20
Came back again to find a hole
21
Where once he thought compassion and the truth
22
Had laid to warm his freezing carcass on return
23
The man who walked across his heart
24
Was doomed to journey from the start
25
Of every love affair he'd broken
26
All the lies he'd ever spoken
27
Tattooed on his arm
28
And the jellyfish stings
29
Even angels with wings
30
Who look too deep
31
And dare to peep
32
Now he sits all alone
33
Knowing flesh blood and bone
34
Is everything
35
He found the treasure he'd been seeking
36
The man who sailed around his soul
