Nields - Just Like Christopher Colombus lyrics

rate me

I watch you come out of nowhere, your three ships and your hunch<br />

You take my hand and kiss it then you ask me out for lunch<br />

You say I'd be all right with just a little pain<br />

But sweetheart, everyone around me ends up going insane.<br />

And you start by saying don't let my bunch get you down<br />

Just like Christopher Columbus, you don't know what you've found.<br />

<br />

You know, it may not be that bad,<br />

it's part and parcel of this brave new game<br />

The more you try to find yourself the more you are the same<br />

So please don't leave me out in the cold<br />

Don't let me die alone, don't let me die old<br />

It may be time to swim for my life while so may others drown<br />

And did Christopher Columbus get rich from what he found?<br />

<br />

I'm driving down that same old road, I'm finding nothing new<br />

But every road I take seems to bring me back to you<br />

So now it's time for me to choose<br />

"Cause the rules of this game are use or lose<br />

So I will wait for you to tell me where I'm bound<br />

I'll be like Christopher Columbus who lost what he found.<br />

<br />
