[Arrangement: A rollicking sea-shanty-meets-piano-rock song. Accordion or Hammond organ, stomping drums, acoustic guitar, and a huge gang-vocal chorus. Starts playful and nautical, then becomes ominous and majestic.]<\/p>\n
[Intro]<\/p>\n
[Sound of waves]<\/p>\n
Hoist the sail!
\n(No time to fail!)<\/p>\n
Raise the mast!
\n(It’s a must!)<\/p>\n
The tide is turning
\n(Moving fast!)<\/p>\n
Where are we going
\n(… without knowing?)<\/p>\n
[Whistle]<\/p>\n
Goin’ to meet Neptune!<\/p>\n
[Verse 1]
\nWe thought we ruled the ocean
\nWe thought we ruled the land
\nBuilt our cities on the shoreline
\nWith a dollar in our hand<\/p>\n
We drew ourselves a boundary
\nSaid, “Water, stay behind!”
\nBut the ocean never signed it
\nAnd the tide don’t read the lines<\/p>\n
[Pre-Chorus]
\nRound and round
\n(The waters flow)<\/p>\n
Up and down
\n(The currents go)<\/p>\n
What goes up
\n(Must come down)<\/p>\n
[Refrain]
\nGoin’ to meet Neptune
\n(Soon, soon, soon)
\nGoin’ to meet Neptune
\n(Whistle the tune)<\/p>\n
[Instrumental, Whistling]<\/p>\n
Sing a sea shanty
\n(Whistle the tune)
\nGone is our vanity
\n(Goin’ to meet Neptune)<\/p>\n
[Verse 2]
\nMorning air is warming
\nThe ocean takes the heat
\nHer crying loads the sky
\nAnd the reign fall will complete<\/p>\n
[Refrain]
\nGoin’ to meet Neptune
\n(Soon, soon, soon)
\nGoin’ to meet Neptune
\n(Whistle the tune)<\/p>\n
[Instrumental, Whistling]<\/p>\n
Sing a sea shanty
\n(Whistle the tune)
\nGone is our vanity
\n(Goin’ to meet Neptune)<\/p>\n
Nowhere to hide
\n(Nowhere to hide!)<\/p>\n
We thought we owned the ocean…<\/p>\n
But Neptune’s got the ride!<\/p>\n
[Refrain]
\nGoin’ to meet Neptune
\n(Soon, soon, soon)
\nGoin’ to meet Neptune
\n(Whistle the tune)<\/p>\n
[Instrumental, Whistling]<\/p>\n
Sing a sea shanty
\n(Whistle the tune)
\nGone is our vanity
\n(Goin’ to meet Neptune)<\/p>\n
[Bridge]
\nOh, Neptune, mighty Neptune
\nKing of all the blue
\nWe sailed upon your waters
\nAnd thought we conquered you<\/p>\n
[Sea-shanty Breakdown]
\nYo ho!
\n(Yo ho ho ho!)<\/p>\n
Down we go!
\n(Down we go!)<\/p>\n
Watch ‘er rise!
\n(Watch the flow!)<\/p>\n
High tide!
\n(No surprise!)<\/p>\n
Neptune’s hummin’…<\/p>\n
Let it ride!<\/p>\n
[Instrumental]
\n[Whistling melody over pounding drums]<\/p>\n
Ohhh…<\/p>\n
[Whistle]<\/p>\n
Ohhh…<\/p>\n
[Whistle]<\/p>\n
Hey!<\/p>\n
[Refrain]
\nGoin’ to meet Neptune
\n(Soon, soon, soon)
\nGoin’ to meet Neptune
\n(Whistle the tune)<\/p>\n
[Instrumental, Whistling]<\/p>\n
Sing a sea shanty
\n(Whistle the tune)
\nGone is our vanity
\n(Goin’ to meet Neptune)<\/p>\n
[Outro]<\/p>\n
[Whistling]<\/p>\n
Goin’ to meet Neptune…<\/p>\n
(Soon, soon, soon…)<\/p>\n
[Wave crash]<\/p>\n
[Whistle]<\/p>\n
Gone is our vanity…<\/p>\n
Goin’ to meet Neptune!<\/p>\n
(… to see god of the sea)<\/p>\n
