Unknown Mortal Orchestra - Swing Lo Magellan Lyrics
Last night all my attentionsquinting westward at the sunsetwith a map and a compassWhen a man reached up, said somethingThere, against the sky, a ball of lighttoo invisible to give itself to the ***** eyeOn the shore, people yellingIn their eyes a great reflectionIn the griddle where they're positionedUnconcerned with intuitionThere could never be not a sympathyfrom that wildernessso let it be arrestedSwing low, oh Magellan9 by 6 or 8 by 7Post a sentinel at the borderof what you attempt, what you ignoreI saw my friend in a pool of lightall drowned in doubt and shameand I knew that I had lost my sight
