Up the snowy spires Where the air is thick as glass Once a year the cold mist clears You can see inside the earth High in that crystal palace I’ve built a sailing ship Mastered wheel of polished brass Sails of gold and silk I pyte the engine steam I set for long citations I consulted dusty maps Said careful, care the glaciers Never in, we’re never in Hearing through my scope I sail deep into the hollows Deep inside the earth I travelled a boiling river Through streams of mercury Under these volcanoes And the roots of ancient trees Underneath stalactites Letras de cancionesI lit phosphorous lamps Sparks snapped into the air And coiled up the mist I watched enormous birds Diving through the slate As I stood upon the ground In my oil skin cap and cape At last, my anchor caught And echoed through the stone As I climbed and old broke ladder Pile through the globe And up above I saw it A glow worm’s little light And I reached out and caught it In the center of the night Tightly in my fist I held that glowing worm Deep down in the hollows I held the center of the world From Letras Mania
