Yeah Two, one, two, one, two Stick bright reflective tape to the collar of your shirt Mind your business and you won't get hurt Be true to the things you said you'd be true to Always keep your objective in view Keep two working contacts among your effects See the tall poppies with their tender fragile necks Solomon in all his glory not arrayed like these Bending in the wind like pilgrims on their knees Those who came to learn these lessons Left no trace of their presence Always have a flashlight, just in case Show the world your true face Burn such fuel as you need to burn Learn to wait your turn Count the heads in the bunks before you turn in for the night Lace your boots up tight Secure the rope to the pole Keep a sense of wonder when you finally reach your goal Those who came to learn these lessons Left no trace of their presence Leave nothing behind Keep a positive thought in your mind And if you can't find anything nice to say Drift away Retain a sense of grace when it's time to cut the cord Crack through the crust, fall to your knees, and praise the Lord Listen for the voices calling out from down below Steady as you go What will they say back home about you Who always kept your objective in view Whose effects included contacts that finally got found Inside the Arctic Circle, scattered on the ground Those who came to learn these lessons Left no trace of their presence (yeah)
