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

Ah, 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



Antarctica, my only living relative

Antarctica, I can't wait anymore

I can't wait anymore

I can't wait anymore
