Just a semi-normal person, thought he had the future planned,
Then he won some silly sweepstakes, now he had a hundred grand.
Never stopped to think of taxes, he was gone before they knew,
With a flare for old romantics, to the Orient he flew.
When they fueled in Pa-pay-a-tay placed a call to big Mamu
Now he's somewhere over china, looking down on all the trails
On a mountain looking back at him is a real life fairy tale.
Put a little distance between causes and effects
Like a day old fortune cookie asking who or what comes next.
What the hell did Marco Polo think when he ran into the wall,
How I would love to drive the shuttle just to feel the engine's roar,
And to operate the lever that controls the payload door.
