I Kissed her picture frame and road into the sunset
Of the Serengeti Desert on my Rhinoceros
Then I took an evening flight to Paris aboard my Pelican
Just to find the woman that I love in places my dreams have only been
But then my Pelican went down into a ball of flames
We crash landed in a Jungle with Purple Orangutans
They ate peyote cakes with Northern Lights inside their pipes
Then we swung across the Amazon into charismatic neon skies
When I found myself beneath the moon on sandy shores of bliss
Complacent to the wind I drew her face and blew a kiss
As I wondered was she staring up into those starry skies
And upon the brightest star I wished her in my arms tonight
But only came the breeze that gently whispered I'm a fool
Nostalgia can be my closest friend while other times it can be cruel
So then with just a whistle and there she blows The Nautilus
My mammalian submarine appeared with her love The MobyDick
I admired them of their passion as we played a game of battleships
Still I miss her sweet sensations and how I've longed to taste her lips
Then we dove into the deepest seas and turned over every shell
I was suspicious of Atlantis and all its disappearing fishy tales
But to my surmise politely I was greeted by the Neptune King
He revealed many oceanic mysteries, but nothing of my Queen
Once again on sandy shores underneath the weight of what I felt
Where the emptiness of void revealed its hollow dismal self
But if I ever find my way back to the place I left my broken heart
I will be waiting there upon my Rhinoceros mapping out the stars
