Oh winds of Anegada won't you blow a little harder Cuz my baby's waitin in Loblolly bay Breezes won't you blow, cuz this old boat she goes so slow And don't you know I've got to make it there today And I just can't figure why All these other boats are passin by Oh but honey I'm determined to prevail So I think i might just put up my mainsail Oh winds of Anegada won't you blow a little harder Cuz my baby's waitin in Loblolly bay Breezes won't you blow, cuz this old boat she goes so slow And don't you know I've got to make it there today I woke up at the crack of dawn Well more like the crack of noon Drank my breakfast on the bow And got out real soon But I didn't get too far at all At least not until I dropped my mooring ball Oh winds of Anegada won't you blow a little harder Cuz my baby's waitin in Loblolly bay Breezes won't you blow, cuz this old boat she goes so slow And don't you know I've got to make it there today Then a vision came to me A pretty mermaid swimmin through a silver sea And I think I've got to thank her For reminding me to pull up on my anchor Oh winds of Anegada won't you blow a little harder Cuz my baby's waitin in Loblolly bay Breezes won't you blow, cuz this old boat she goes so slow And don't you know I've got to make it there today By the sunset light I hailed her But she said she could never love such a lousy sailor Now my love is out of reach Wrecked upon that cruel, cruel beach Oh winds of Anegada won't you blow a little harder Cuz my baby's broke my heart in Loblolly bay Breezes won't you blow, cuz this old boat she goes so slow And don't you know that I am tryin to sail away

I hid my treasure in a secret place I made my maps I laid my traps and now we start the race you brought your most intense and nimble-minded a hundred teams' ambitious dreams but only one can find it the hunt is on the hunt is on when you got tired I made you dance for me when you're confused your ego's bruised I made you buy the key why did you send you all those gross diseases oh I don't care it's only fair I sent you all the pieces the hunt is on the hunt is on you tried to buoy up your tired soul I send you round the edge of town with just an eight foot pole you finally gathered up your feelings for her I gotta do these things to you to put my life in order the hunt is on the hunt is on it's been three days and still I'm on the phone not knowing who will make it through my treasure's all alone it's just a little distance after all astronomers are amateurs at walking down the hall the hunt is on the hunt is on the hunt is on

why on earth should I believe in a world I cannot see a world of magic and adventure, it's a beauty so they say when you opened up that door I didn't know you anymore all my letters went unanswered they didn't want me anyway oooooh I wasn't welcome in your world oooooh I'm just an ordinary girl so you left on your own and the things that you brought home were of a most disturbing nature, they still haunt me in the night and when you brought home a man, oh you thought he was so grand but I could tell he'd be the death of you, I guess that I was right oooooh I was running from your world oooooh I'm just an ordinary girl I made anger out of love, I'm so hurt and fearful of the evil forces that conspire around the boy you died to save so I keep my silence strong, never look at him too long I'm just a skinny pink petunia laying lilies on your grave oooooh I couldn't help you save your world oooooh I'm just an ordinary girl oooooh I'm just an ordinary girl

Apocalypses 03:37
sometimes I consider the beauty of humanity sometimes I get overwhelmed thinkin' about how life is fragile and it goes so easily sometimes I get lost in my own head sometimes I just stare into the sunset wonderin' what's gonna kill us first will it be a supervolcano or a superbacterium not sure which is worse between a zombie epidemic or an alien invasion can't stand not knowing which of these hypothetical apocalypses will end all human life on earth sometimes I consider the survivability of a nuclear winter sometimes I get overwhelmed thinkin' about biowarfare and a global economic meltdown sometimes I like to track a new disease that's gonna wipe out all our continental trees cuz I gotta see what's gonna kill us first will it be a supervolcano or a superbacterium not sure which is worse between a zombie epidemic or an alien invasion can't stand not knowing which of these hypothetical apocalypses will end all human life on earth oh somethin's gonna happen oh a lotta things could the case for the antichrist is startin' to look good we could get killed by a solar storm or a bubblin' of gases from the deep see floor killed by our own sentient malevolent machines or the rise of intelligent chimpanzees lately there's one thing that's stuck in my head the single most likely way we all end up dead sometimes I consider manmade emissions and the resulting rise in temperatures sometimes I get overwhelmed thinkin' about mass extinctions and rising sea levels a giant rock comin' from space would be irretractable but we can stop makin' our own planet uninhabitable that's gonna kill us first coulda been a supervolcano or a superbacterium not sure which is worse but I'd at least have liked to make it to the alien invasion can't stand not knowing which of these hypothetical apocalypses will end all human life on earth
