A family tale like vapor trail
Disappear from the sky
And sure enough it tailed right off
The same as you and I
That jet will lift you into air
A wave goodbye to earth
Just like our dreams and other schemes
And anything of worth
Marco Polo sailed east
The Gama sailed west
Many sailed with fingers crossed
And hope of every best
Now the roar of jumbo jet
Fills every given day
Cause everybody wants to leave
And no one wants to stay
Cast your eyes into the skies
Watch those planes depart
Load your envy into hope
Along with heavy heart
Those brothers right
Chose wing and fly
And headed into cloud
And that's what we will always do
Whenever we're allowed
Marco Polo sailed east






The Gama sailed west
Many sailed with fingers crossed
And hope of every best
Now the roar of jumbo jet
Fills every given day
Cause everybody wants to leave
And no one wants to stay
Look your family in the eye, boy
And ask them the same
None of them would run away








The bees sat here instead of sitting there
You wouldn't see their arses
For the speed they left your side
When Epitlanche was born, boy
This family died
Flying off into the sun
That runway feels so good
Following a wing and prayer
Ambition only crew
A family tale, a ship that sails
By sea or air or land
And only makes its way back home
In paddle boat by hand
Look your family in the eye, boy
And offer them the fur
