Young Icarus

Lyrics

Young Icarus flew
 At night for years
 He flew and flew and flew
 Over the maze he was born into
 He flew and flew and flew
 Until he reached morning
 It was a cold, cold sea
 And we crawled out of the water
 As obsessed with evolution as ever
 From a hill behind a gas station in Scranton
 I could see the old ways stitching out in their graves
 And I thought, but I didn't say
 "Woman, ain't it glorious?
 Without a past there'd be no one here but us
 Lonely as Adam and Eve"
 So I left Eden with a song up my sleeve
 Well, the past has always lied to me
 The past never gave me anything but the blues
 Oh, what's a hot poor boy to do?
 Empty the nest for the cuckoos
 And wander, wander, wander
