[00:11.00] I was a highwayman, along the coach roads I did ride
[00:17.85] With sword and pistol by my side
[00:22.84] Many a young maid lost her baubles to my trade
[00:28.74] Many a soldier shed his lifeblood on my blade
[00:34.43] The bastards hung me in the spring of twenty-five
[00:39.92] But I am still alive
[00:46.36] I was a sailor, I was born upon the tide
[00:53.49] And with the sea I did abide
[00:57.97] I sailed a schooner round the Horn to Mexico
[01:03.90] I went aloft and furled the mainsail in a blow
[01:09.84] And when the yards broke off they said that I got killed
[01:15.36] But I am living still
[01:21.85] I was a dam builder, across the river deep and wide
[01:28.69] Where steel and water did collide
[01:33.66] A place called Boulder on the wild Colorado
[01:39.34] I slipped and fell into the wet concrete below
[01:45.26] They buried me in that great tomb that knows no sound
[01:50.63] But I am still around, I'll always be around and around
[01:58.02] And around and around and around
[02:09.34] I fly a starship across the Universe divide
[02:16.17] And when I reach the other side
[02:20.79] I'll find a place to rest my spirit if I can
[02:26.65] Perhaps I may become a highwayman again
[02:32.44] Or I may simply be a single drop of rain
[02:38.11] But I will remain and I'll be back again
[02:43.74] And again and again and again and again
