Just Like Christopher Colombus lyrics

I watch you come out of nowhere, your three ships and your hunch
You take my hand and kiss it then you ask me out for lunch
You say I`d be all right with just a little pain
But sweetheart, everyone around me ends up going insane.
And you start by saying don`t let my bunch get you down
Just like Christopher Columbus, you don`t know what you`ve found.

You know, it may not be that bad,
it`s part and parcel of this brave new game
The more you try to find yourself the more you are the same
So please don`t leave me out in the cold
Don`t let me die alone, don`t let me die old
It may be time to swim for my life while so may others drown
And did Christopher Columbus get rich from what he found?

I`m driving down that same old road, I`m finding nothing new
But every road I take seems to bring me back to you
So now it`s time for me to choose
`Cause the rules of this game are use or lose
So I will wait for you to tell me where I`m bound
I`ll be like Christopher Columbus who lost what he found.
