Young Icarus Lyrics

Young Icarus flew at night for years
He flew and flew and flew
Over the maze he was born into
He flew and flew and flew
[ Lyrics from: http://www.cloverlyrics.com/e122901-bill_callahan~young_icarus_lyrics.html ]
Until he reached morning
It was a cold, cold sea
And we crawled out of the water
As obsessed with evolution as ever
From a hill behind a gas station in Scranton
I could see the old ways stitching out in their graves
And I thought, but I didn't say
"Woman, ain't it glorious?
Without a past there'd be no one here but us
Lonely as Adam and Eve"
So I left Eden with a song up my sleeve
Well, the past has always lied to me
The past never gave me anything but the blues
Oh, what's a hot poor boy to do?
Empty the nest for the cuckoos
And wander, wander, wander
