Lyrics
here's a flash, "two frenchmen scaled the highest peak in the Himalayas.
They froze their feet but stumbled on Yeti's lair.
Amazing what a man will do,
he needs a challenge to test himself,
first some courage, then you could find yourself up there
everybody needs excitement every now and then.
i promise to work on these phobias, throw all caution to the wind.
life's a book
the ending's unknown
let me perish in my own way eloquently...without a chaperone.
sign me up, i need to go where no one's been
life's a book from the beginning until the end
diving through back pages well, some chapters leave me gasping.
take a deep breath, mate, there's treasure down below.
spanish galleons lost the fight, floundered upon the reefs and vanished.
who's got the brass to salvage what they stole?
