Wire - Marooned Lyrics

An unwilling sailor adrift from Arctic waters
As the water gets warmer, my iceberg gets smaller
As he pours more petrol on, he feels no fear
As the flames get nearer its thought gets clearer

A blue white polar bear arrives at the end
Diverting his attention, his feelings froze over
I'm only a runaway A W O L at the logical start
Not present in the present, overboard with limited future, future

And I'm standing alone still getting a thrill
While the ship is afloat, he's losing his boat, ah
