I thought you were a trip worth takin’
Entranced by your unsympathetic view
But I missed the moving target
Missed the moving target
I took too long to remember what to do
And I wished on several stars that said they know you

I waited for you in Arcadia
Convinced I’d find you playing Pan's Flute
But I missed the movin’ target
Missed the movin’ target
I took too long to remember that I don’t owe you

Well, you showed up late
And only stayed one afternoon
And I'd cut you a break
But mercy doesn’t look that good on you

And you've slicked too many sailors
And you've tricked too many travelers
You've kissed too many strangers
You've skipped too many chapters

You picked this life of danger
You picked this life of danger
You picked this life
You picked this life

And if I’d known what I have only just found
I’d have stayed away
And that’s where I'm staying now
