The man who sailed around his soul
  From East to West, from pole to pole
  With ego as his drunken captain
  Greed, the mutineer, had trapped all reason in the hold
    The man who walked across his heart
  Who took no compass, guide or chart
  To rope and tar his blood congealed
  When he found his self revealed ugly and cold
    And the sirens that sing
  By your nose with its ring
  They'll drag you in
  For your sins
    Now he sits all alone
  And it's no place like home
  It's empty skin
  A bag to keep life's souvenirs in
  The man who sailed around his soul
  The man who sailed around his soul
    The man who sailed around his soul
  Came back again to find a hole
  Where once he thought compassion and the truth
  Had laid to warm his freezing carcass on return
    The man who walked across his heart
  Was doomed to journey from the start
  Of every love affair he'd broken
  All the lies he'd ever spoken
  Tattooed on his arm
  And the jellyfish stings
  Even angels with wings
  Who look too deep
  And dare to peep
    Now he sits all alone
  Knowing flesh blood and bone
  Is everything
  He found the treasure he'd been seeking
  The man who sailed around his soul
