She was so bright and tragic like the dying planets
From the universe that came before ours
She was the cemetery that would always scare me
As I walked by it alone in the dark
She was the story I read to all the people in bed
Who needed fantasy to sleep through the night
She was the feeling of joy of every girl and boy
When the end of the school year arrived
Antarctica
I'll take you to the South pole
Antarctica
When you've got no place to go
Antarctica
I'll take you to the South pole
Antarctica
She was the sunshine stars
She had my brains and heart
She was the brightest part
Of this black universe
She was the tall oak tree
Such a familiar breeze
She was the only thing
Here in this universe
It was the strangest thing for him to ever think
That one day he was to give himself to her
But for me what was stranger was the feeling of danger
That I've felt the moment that it occurred
"Was it healthy or not?"
Was the question I got
rom almost every person that I've talked to
If She smokes six packs a day
And that's completely insane
Then how can I pretend she gave me no clue?
Antarctica
I'll take you to the South pole
Antarctica
When you've got no place to go
Antarctica
I'll take you to the South pole
Antarctica
She was the sunshine stars
She had my brains and heart
She was the brightest part
Of this black universe
She was the tall oak tree
Such a familiar breeze
She was the only thing
Here in this universe
When I'm a hundred and five
And my ashes reside
On the mantel of my future son's home
I hope to never regret any moment I spent
Trying to tally up the beauty I've known
Because the truth is I've liked
Every time that we fight
I can't imagine doing anything else
With my time here on Earth
And rolling around in the dirt
With a woman who is bad for my health
Antarctica
I'll take you to the South pole
Antarctica
When you've got no place to go
Antarctica
I'll take you to the South pole
Antarctica
She was the sunshine stars
She had my brains and heart
She was the brightest part
Of this black universe
She was the tall oak tree
Such a familiar breeze
She was the only thing
Here in this universe
