Music by Will White Lyrics by Ted C. Fishman http://chinainc-book.com/aboutauthor.html Sung by me and Beth Barber In this song, Emma, a serious young college student, and Trip, her doting TA, find themselves on the Galapagos Islands. Emma longs for cold Chicago winters and the life of the mind; Trip longs for Emma. Lyrics Emma: Alone in my room, where it's cold, I feel ideas burning. Alone in my room, there's sunshine, from the minds of great thinkers. I sit happy there, in the stale air Where my only care is for theory. And here I walk on a tortoise stalk, On this isle so bleak and dreary. I miss Hyde Park, I miss the snow, I miss Hyde Park, Professor's Row. The Quad with it's faux Gothic gates, The Reg and the late night debates. Take me home from this tropical bay To my city gray. Trip: Out here in the sun, where it's warm Cool off, you're overheating. Out here in the sun, we have a chance To live as God's creatures. This is no dead rock - it's chocablock, All around, life is revolving, And here we walk on our tortoise stalk, Down an aisle where we're evolving. Embrace my heart, embrace my soul, Embrace my heart, lose all control. Our minds in wide open space, The world is a fine nesting place. Shake away your tropical blue, I love you. E: Embrace your heart? T: Embrace my soul! E: But how to start? T: Oh you will know Both: We're like minds about our affection. We're each other's natural selection. Wherever we roam, we are home.
