Lyrics

Crawl out of your Trojan Horse
Onto your wooden whale
Whip the rowers into shape
Hoist your simple sail
Ten years fighting Priam's kin
For honor's wrinkled reason
You won't regain a drop of youth
Floating the Aegean
Run away to join Circe
And learn Calypso's dance
No One riddles Cyclops' eye
To tempt fate's blinding chance
Tie yourself up to the mast
To hear the Siren's song
Beauty bathes you in a flash
But madness lasts so long
Ithica, Mythica
That clever man's a loner
Useless he, Odd is he
Who cannot find his Homer
Every island's a mirage
Like Victory's illusion
The magic Penny keeps her spin
And the orphaned son's confusion
The poet's eyes are hollowed out
But he'll still make you feel
The grateful sailor's reaching hand, and
The tragic hero's heel
Ithica, Mythica
That clever man's a lone
Useless he, Odd is he
Who cannot hear his Homer
Son of Pain now string your bow
Like the bard's old trusty lyre
Send the arrow through the axe
To spark the cleansing fire
Go and grab that rotten oar
And walk far, far inland
Go until you find someone
Who mistakes it for a winnow's fan
Ithica, Mythica
That clever man's just a loner
Odd is he, useless he
Who cannot hit a Homer
