Submerge the whole western state

take the story of carpenter mike

Who dropped his tools and his keys and left

And headed out as far as he could

Past the city and gayday neighbourhoods

And he slept 'neath the stars

Wrote down what he dreamt

And he built a machine for no-one to see

G F C

and took flight first light of new morning
