Sailing in Reckless Abandon
To the slippery edge of the sea
Where the moon and the stars take off their masks
And I can't tell you from me
On the good ship Reckless Abandon
Your fancy's as free as the fish
We'll fill our sails
With the songs of whales
And be whoever we wish
When you travel in Reckless Abandon
The fish come and sit in your lap
You can follow the trail of a horseshoe crab
Or sail right off the map
On the good ship Reckless Abandon
Your fancy's as free as a lark
We'll set our course
For the nearest sea horse
And dance a tango with a shark
We'll sing till the notes run together
Till we've quite forgotten the land
We'll stop for coffee at the Seaweed Cafe
Where the octopi walk hand in hand, in hand, in hand...
On the good ship Reckless Abandon
Your fancy's as free as the sea
We'll run hand in hand
Down the Moon's silver band
And you'll sing a love song to me
Sailing in Reckless Abandon
To the slippery edge of the sea
Where the moon and the stars take off their masks
And I can't tell you from me
On the good ship Reckless Abandon
Your fancy's as free as the fish
We'll fill our sails
With the songs of whales
And be whoever we wish
