[D] You're an adventurer, you sail across the oceans, you [G] climb the Himalayas, seeking truth
and beauty [D] as a match to stay.
You're a [G] queen reborn, worshipped from above afar, some see you as an elixir, an elemental
[D] naturalist in perfect gray.
In a catacomb or [G] a cave of endless drawing, prehistoric [G] or religious, your accomplishments
are prestigious, [D] seeking out the perfect tone.
[G] Your language so clear, your voice perfectly churning, as in the city I sit yearning, blowing
rings of smoke from thin cigars or driving fast in [D] carring cars to capture your remains.

You're an [G] adventurer, a turban wet wrapped around your head on the mountainside that
predicts your death.
Oh, [D] how you fool them all.
The [G] subjects are a poor excuse for what you really want, some use in inspiring knowledge
[D] of what comes before.
Oh, speeds of light, the [G] momentary flicker of a candle in its wicker basket, smoking wax fax.
Did you find that superior knowledge that eluded you in college?
Did you find that super-cortex that could cause your cerebral cortex to [D] lose its grip?
You're [G] an adventurer, you're out looking for meaning while the rest of us were steaming
in an instant reading.
Urban pit, an [C] adventurer, you enter as I'm dreaming.
I wish I'd never wake up, differentiating scheme [D] upon my one true love.

You're an adventurer, you love the angles and the cherries, the heightened width of
levees, the natural bridge and tunnels [D] of the human race.
You're an [G] adventurer, nothing seems to scare you, if it does it won't dissuade you, you
just won't think about it, you dismiss it and defocus, you redefine the locus [D] of your
time, space, race [C] as you move [G] further from me.
And though I understand thinking and have often done the same thing, [D] I find parts of me gone.
[G] You're an adventurer, and though I'll surely miss you, and of course I'll survive without
you, and maybe, [D] who will come of that, but at this [G] point, uh, I anticipate some grieving,
and although I know you're leaving, is a necessary edge up [D] to what we both do?
[G] An adventurer, splitting up the atom, splitting up the once was, splitting up the [D] essence
of a star-crossed fate.
[G] No one who meets you, will forget you.
My adventure, my adventure, my adventure, [D] adventure, adventurer.
