Marooned Lyrics - Wire

An unwilling sailor adrift from Artic waters, oh 

As the water gets warmer, my iceberg gets smaller, oh 

As he pours more petrol on, he feels no fear, oh 

As the flames get nearer, his thought gets clearer, oh 

A blue-white polar bear arrives at the end, oh 

Diverting his attention, his feelings froze over, oh 

I'm only a runaway A-W-O-L at the logical start 

Not present in the present 

Overboard with limited future 

Future 

And I'm standing alone still getting a thrill 

While the ship is afloat, he's losing his boat, oh
