Left behind everything I knew
All the colors but bone-white and sky-blue
Hit the continent running

Engines were humming just to break through

Antarctica, my only living relative

Antarctica, I can't wait anymore

Under ice there's a world moving slow

Carnelian stars and the bars down below
Serve only vodka and gin
I try to stay drunk so nobody knows


Antarctica, my only living relative
Antarctica, I can't wait anymore

I can't wait anymore

And then there's morning

Each one feels like the first one
Ah, morning, so clean, so pure
Nothing so clear, now that I'm here


When I get back to the city
Everything's cluttered and pretty

I won't regret my return
I'll just remember the wind and the snow
And the howling so loud

That it alone drowns out the inside of me

Antarctica, my only living relative

Antarctica, I can't wait anymore
I can't wait anymore
I can't wait anymore
