lyrics

YOU deserved a camera, telephoto lens, Polaroids
Color contrast, airbrushed centerfolds, oh if only there was celluloid

WE use carbon dating, ideogramic red figure amphora
Seriation, fragments of Linear B, hypostyle and philology

YOU had no words to describe the color blue
And WE claim to see more than ten million hues

YOU deserved a camera, Viewmaster reels, stereo 3-D
Click on the painted marbles, blur out collapse and rubble
Record the true colors of your “Wine Dark Sea”

YOU had no words to describe the color blue
And WE claim to see more than ten million hues

YOU deserved that camera, the Viewmaster reels, Stereoscope 3-D
Click on the painted marbles, blur out the piles of rubble
Document the colors of your “Wine Dark Sea”
Your “Wine Dark Sea”
