You're an adventurer
  you sail across the oceans
  you climb the Himalayas
  seeking truth and beauty as a natural state
  
  You're a queen reborn
  worshipped from above afar
  some see you as an elixir
  an elemental natural seeking perfect grace
  
  In a catacomb
  or cave of endless drawings
  prehistoric or religious
  your accomplishments prodigious
  seeking out the perfect tone
  
  Your language so clear
  your voice perfectly turning
  as in the city I sit yearning
  blowing rings of smoke from thin cigars
  or driving fast in foreign cars
  to capture your remains, huh
  
  You're an adventurer
  a turban wet wrapped 'round your head
  on the mountainside they predict your death
  oh how you fooled them all
  
  But subjects are a poor excuse
  when what you really want's a muse
  an inspirating knowledge
  of what comes before
  
  Ooohhh, speeds of light
  the momentary flicker
  of a candle in its wicker basket
  smoking wax, facts
  
  Did you find that superior knowledge
  that eluded you in college
  Did you find that super vortex
  that could cause your cerebral cortex
  ooohhh, to lose its grip
  
  You're an adventurer
  you were out looking for meaning
  while the rest of us were steaming
  in an inspirating
  ah, urban pit
  
  An adventurer
  you enter as I'm dreaming
  I wish I'd never wake up
  Differentiating scheming from my one true love
  
  You're an adventurer
  you love the angles and the cherries
  the height and width of levies
  the natural bridge and tunnels of the human race
  
  You're an adventurer
  nothing seem to scare you
  and if it does it won't dissuade you
  you just will not think about it
  you dismiss it and defocus
  you redefine the locus of your time in space, race
  
  As you move further from me
  and though I understand the thinking
  and have often done the same thing
  I find parts of me gone
  
  You're an adventurer
  and though I'll surely miss you
  and of course I'll survive without you
  and maybe good will come of that
  
  But at this point, ah
  I anticipate some grieving
  and although I know your leaving
  is a necessary adjunct to what we both do
  
  An adventurer
  splitting up the atom
  splitting up the once was
  splitting up the essence of our star-crossed fate
  
  None who meet you
  do forget you, my adventurer
  my adventurer, my adventurer-venturer
  my adventuress
