Lyrics for Paleogeographer's Song by C.R. Scotese
"Sailing away on uncharted seas,
Who knows what we might find.
You needn't go far to take this trip
'cause the journeys through your mind.
The keys to the future lie locked in the past.
There's always a question that hasn't been asked.
So come come along and sail with me,
who knows what we might find.
You needn't go far to take this trip
'cause the journey's through your mind."
Lyrics for Cephalopod by C.R. Scotese
Wouldn't it be nice, to spend your whole life, eating trilobites in the ocean?
What more could you wish, without any fish, in the sea.
Cephalopod, Cephalopod, swimming through the sea. You belong to me, Cephalopod.
Swimming along, humming your song, nothing goes wrong in the ocean.
What more could you wish, without any fish in the sea."
