Antarctica lyrics
by The Weepies
Left behind everything I knew
All the colors but bone white and sky blue
Hit the continent running
Engines were humming just to break through
Antarctica, my only living relative
Antarctica, I can't wait anymore
Under ice there's a world moving slow
Carnelian stars and the bars down below
Serve only vodka and gin
I try to stay drunk so nobody knows
Antarctica, my only living relative
Antarctica, I can't wait anymore
I can't wait anymore
And then there's morning
Each one feels like the first one
A morning, so clean, so pure
Nothing so clear now that I'm here
When I get back to the city
Everything's cluttered and pretty
I won't regret my return
I'll just remember the wind, and the snow
And the howling so loud that it alone drowns out the inside of me
