I'm trying to tell you something about my life
Maybe finally figure out just what went right
And the best thing you've ever done for me
Is to help me take the world less seriously;
there's other worlds, after all.
The stardust has a song that's irresistible
And gravity's a pull that's hard to heed
With a flashlight reading underneath the blanket
My heart has led me skyward, and I thank it
I'm comin' back for more
Chorus:
I went to the doctor, I went to the Vulcan
I fought for the Rebels, I flew with the Falcon
There's more to my life than contradictions,
Pulling me down that road again
And the more I search the sky for something different,
The closer I am to fen.
The closer I am to fen.
I went to the department of philosophy
With a book of science fiction quoting Hume and Socrates
They never did get it, as if I hadn't spoken
They read through my proposal, were sure I must be joking
I spent four months learning from a smaller mind,
Wrote my paper and got a B.
Chorus:
I went to the doctor, I went to the Vulcan
I fought for the Rebels, I flew with the Falcon
There's more to my life than contradictions,
Pulling me down that road again
And the more I search the world for something different,
The closer I am to fen.
The closer I am to fen.
I stopped by the filk at three a.m.
To seek solace in some singing with my thousand closest friends
And now I know there's others with my hunger for the stars
I'll never be as lonely as I was before
I came and found my family.
End Chorus:
I went to the doctor, I went to the Vulcan
I fought for the Rebels, I flew with the Falcon
We go to the wizards, we talk with the dragons
We rattle our sabers, we drink from the flagons
Yeah we fight off the vampires, we hack at the software
We sing around the campfires and we know the truth is out there
There's more to my life than contradictions,
Pulling me down that road again
And the more I search my self for something different,
The closer I am to fen
The closer I am to fen
The closer I am to fen.
