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
