10. Topographic report


Call from old Mesopotamia

“Could anybody please make turn time back?”

Had a postcard from Malaysia

Did anybody teach you to write that right?


Pictured glowing storms in Africa

Did you ever learn of our inner fights?

And said there’s one river in India

Where you can have a bath with historical facts


But it’s all gone when it’s gone


I will track no roads to put your car back in motion

But I will light your hearth if you come back cold

Across the ocean, across the ocean


Wrote a song ‘bout Andalusia

And made a friend shake at its sound

And brought you an ice cube from Rhodesia

There’s another world if you grab inside


But it’s all gone when it’s gone


I will track no roads to put your car back in motion

But I will light your hearth if you come back cold

Across the ocean, across the ocean


Call from old Mesopotamia...

Someone answer I’m not around
