PATTI SMITH lyrics : "Amerigo"

We were going to see the world
In this land
We placed Baptismal fonts

And an infinite number were baptized
And they called us "Carabi"
Which means "Men of Great Wisdom"


Where are you going,
And are you going anywhere?

Where are you going
Send me a letter, if you go at all


Ahh, the salvation of souls,
But wisdom we had not
For these people had neither King nor Lord

And bowed to no one
And they had lived in their own liberty


Where are you going,
And are you going anywhere?
Going in circles

Going in circles, anywhere

I saw the new

The inconstant shifting of fortune
And now I write to you
Words that have not been written

Words from the New World
Tracing the circles
Moving across my eyes

Lying on a ship
And gazing at the western skies
Tracing lazy circles in the sky


Hey!


Wake Up!
Wake Up!


Where are you going,
And are you going anywhere?
Where are you going

Send me a letter, if you go at all

It's such a delight

To watch them dance
Be it sacrifice or romance
Free of all the things that we hold dear

Is that clear, Your Excellency?

And I guess it's time to go but

I gotta send you just a few more lines
From the New World


Tracing the circles
Moving across my eyes
Lying on a ship

And gazing at the western skies
Tracing lazy circles in the sky


Tracing lazy circles in the sky
Tracing lazy circles


And the sky opened
And we laid down our armor
And we danced

Naked as they
Baptized in the rain
Of the New World
