lyrics

I am many things
I am a writer, I am a doctor
I am a nuclear physicist
A theoretical philosopher
Above all I am a man
A hopelessly inquisitive man, just like you
Many years of successful writing
and publishing has made me self sufficient
Readers in all languages have enjoyed
My work
But now I’m retired to study the mind and spirit
My life’s true work

These studies have made me a target
And I am hunted for what I know
Which is why it is so unwise
To go lurking and jumping on strange ships

How do we know what your motives are?
How do we know what your motives are?
How do we know what your motives are?
Don’t apologize, you’re a scoundrel

How I miss the days of working
a four mastered schooner
With nothing but salt horse, dried peas
and a couple quarts of water
The present day maritimers seem so fragile
Don’t you think?
You you you you are an adventurer

An able bodied seaman, a maker of wine
And a dashing mischievousness is what I knew
Would come to me in this lifetime
Would you study with me?
Would you submit yourself?

I am always looking for mature men of unusual ability
Who are willing to stretch the boundaries
of what they know to increase knowingness
Communication amongst men
I need data and with your help I can gather it
You already understand
You just need to remember

And only say yes, say yes
only say yes, say yes come on!
Only say yes, say yes
And only say yes, say yes
only say yes, say yes come on!
Only say yes, say yes, say yes tonight
