Lyrics[]
Sift through the things we had that seem worth fighting for Dig through the embers Seek out a witness to the times we used to share We doubt the pretenders Go and find you an Etruscan Reveal the hidden truth about the serpent's tooth Try not to get romantic Tell tales about white whales, way out in the Atlantic Go and find you an Etruscan Seek out his dwelling place, describe his face for the record Seek out the feral child, head out into the wild Send word when you get there I'll wait here day and night, hoping you'll be alright Sadly knowing better Go and find you an Etruscan Go and find you an Etruscan
