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
