Al Stewart - Sirens Of Titan

Al Stewart - Sirens Of Titan



I was drawn by the sirens of Titan


Carried along by their call


Seeking for a way to enlighten


Searching for the sense of it all


Like a kiss on the wind I was thrown to the stars


Captured and oredered in the army of Mars


Marching to the sound of the drum in my head


I followed the call



Only to be Malachi Constant


I thought I came to this earth


Living in the heart of the moment


With the riches I gained at my birth


But here in the yellow and blue of my days


I wander the endless Mercurian caves


Watching for the signs the harmoniums make


The words on the walls



I was drawn by the sirens of Titan


And so I came in the end


Under the shadow of Saturn


With statues and birds for my friends


Finding a home at the end of my days


Looking around I've only to say


I was the victim of a series of accidents


As are we all
