Lyrics
Trying to figure the geometry
Find a spot to live out my biography
Navigating by the stars feels right
Steering my boat past the modern stress and strife
Away from vicious sharks in Congress's rip tide
Feeding in frenzies on healthcare budget lies
Lobbied by big corporate snapping alligators
It's about time I tell them all "see you later"
My sextant's pointing straight to the equator
CHORUS
Sail me away, tropical
Sail me away, natural
Compass on a southbound constellation
Sail me away, good wind is wasting
Good wind is wasting
VERSE
Fishing for greater productivity
Surfing tidal waves of new technology
The internet squall has sucked us all in
Syncing and linking with virtual friends
It's an endless rough sea fighting hackers and scams
Scanning for viruses and drowning in the spam
The social hurricane with no safe port to hide
Posting, texting, posting, tide's always on the rise
It's time I reboot and reconnect to life
CHORUS
BRIDGE
Now I'm unplugged and suntanned
No iTunes but a reggae band
No computer, no TV
But I've got this whole damn coral reef
Snorkeling scenes and island views
Blow away vids on YouTube
It's paradise and I'm happy
Cause I've put my worries out to sea
CHORUS
