Lyrics

I was a highwayman
On the coach roads I did ride
With sword and pistol by my side
Many a young maid lost her marbles to my trade
Many a soldier shed his lifeblood on my blade
The bastards hung me in the spring of '25
But I am still alive
I was a sailor
I was born upon the tide
And with the sea I did abide
Well, I sailed a schooner 'round the Horn of Mexico
I went aloft and furled the mainsail in a blow
And when the yards broke off, they say that I got killed
But I am living still
I was a damn builder
'Cross the river deep and wide
Where steel and water did collide
A place called Boulder on the wild Colorado
I slipped and fell into the wet concrete below
They buried me in that great tomb that knows no sound
But I am still around
I'll always be around
And around and around and around and around
I'll fly a starship
'Cross the universe divide
And when I reach the other side
I'll find a place to rest my spirit if I can
Perhaps I may become a highwayman again
Or I might simply be a single tripod frame
But I will remain
And I'll be back again
And again and again and again and again
