Setting out from the share

 setting out for the things that haunt you

 Leaving daily behind

 leaving all that corrupts the sublime

 Waves a beating your brow

 testing out all the ways, the know how

 Checking out the degrees

 mapping out all we know we will seize

 The things that haunt you now

 you'd better beware

 The ways and means collect

 and leave you dry

 Setting out for the stars

 my ship is a dying Pequod

 Prisoner of the mind

 oh Mr. Melville, Mr. Melville
