I'm a Glong way from my home
I was Bbborne on the raCging seDma
And when I fiFrst struck lBband, with my Chead in haFnd
I built a hoDmuse out of an oFld oak treCe
And raised a fDmamily out of Fearth and electrCicitGmy
---
And I was Gking of my domain
But my Bbfortitude apprCoved in vaDmin
And when the Flocust cBbame like a Csummer raFin
Devouring Dmeverything that FI held deaCr
And all I'd Dmworked for simply FdisappearCed
So I Fcrept awaBby, for I had Cdebts to paFy
And joined the Dmarmy as a FprivateeCr
Yeah, it was theDmn, the wind had Fwhispered, but I Cwould not heGmar

So we Gsailed out across the land
Through an Bbocean made of Csinking Dmsand
And though I Flost my mBben, I was Cborn agaiFn
As a taDmilor in an uFnknown laCnd
With a Fneedle and some Dmthread in haCnd
Mending Fsuits and slBbacks, stitching Cup the craFcks
In the baDmcks of my Fneighbour's heCads
And soon the Dmword, yeah, of my Fwork had spCread through the toGmwn

So beGfore the king I stood
I said, I cBbome from the rCaging sDmea
And let the Ftruth be tBbold, I am Cnot so oFld
As you might Dmfirst have taken Fme to bCe
For numbers Fnever could applyDm to meC
For I'm as Fold as tBbime, and maybe Chalf as bliFnd
What some of yoDmu might call infFinityC
Yeah, I'm the taDmilor of the eaFrth and electrCicityGm
