[Verse 1]

An unseen ruler defines with geometry

An unrulable expanse of geography

An aerial photographer over-exposed

To the cartologist's 2D images knows

The areas where the water flowed

So petrified, the landscape grows

Straining eyes try to understand

The works, incessantly in hand

The carving and the paring of the land

The quarter square, the graph divides

Beneath the rule, a country hides

Chorus!

[Chorus]

Interrupting my train of thought, lines

Of longitude and latitude

Define and refine

My altitude

Interrupting my train of thought, lines

Of longitude and latitude

Define and refine

My altitude

[Bridge]

The curtain's undrawn

Harness fitted, no escape

Common and peaceful, duck, flat, lowland

Landscape, canal, canard, water coloured

[Verse 2]

Crystal palaces for floral kings

A well-known waving span of wings

Witness the sinking of the sun

A deep breath of submission has begun

[Chorus]

Interrupting my train of thought, lines

Of longitude and latitude

Define and refine

My altitude

Interrupting my train of thought, lines

Of longitude and latitude

Define and refine

My altitude

Interrupting my train of thought, lines

Of longitude and latitude

Define and refine

My altitude

Interrupting my train of thought, lines

Of longitude and latitude

Define and refine

My altitude
