To magician-shores, where they play
Then I'll see Descartes Dancing
Where the world is round's where I'm bound
Turning old ideas upside down
And I'll be Descartes Dancing
Around the world
Where's the Golden Age? "Where we live,
Slipping, like our times, through the sieve,
To fall past Descartes Dancing."
Save me once or twice, I don't mind
I've found the promised land, I know I'll find
A fan of Descartes Dancing
Around the world
[CHORUS]
"I'll help you find the answers
I'll guide you through what ancient wisemen say,
We'll tour the world like pirates,
It's been so long since I've been that way."
"Where will your life lead, minstrel man
Writing silly songs for Wonderland
While Alice is Descartes Dancing?"
Everybody's gone, chasing gold--
(That's) not the 'here-and-now' I was sold
So back to Descartes Dancing
Around the world
"I'll help you find the answers
I'll guide you through what ancient wisemen say,
We'll tour the world like pirates (madmen),
It's been so long since I've been that way."
If life's a vaudeville stage, wait for me
We'll trade our old routines here, and see
The best of Descartes Dancing
If life's a sad song, sung alone
If the good old days have come and gone
I've still got Descartes Dancing
Around the world.
"I'll help you find the answers
I'll guide you through what ancient wisemen say,
We'll tour the world like pirates (madmen),
It's been so long since I've been that way."
