Albert through the ether

Albert through the ether, do you see the light of that far away town?
well now Albert that's Geneva. You're sat by the lake and your hands they are shaking so...

Throw your doubt and anger out over the water
to sink like a stone that your mind has outgrown.

Albert you're not thinking, it's 1904 and a new age is dawning while Albert
your faith is sinking. Don't leave us adrift we could all use the lift you know.

Throw your doubt and anger out over the water
Your biggest fear, your darkest hour won't be back to haunt you.

Albert you have to choose now, it's ether or nothing but even nothing must be something.
Albert you don't need either, there's nothing between you are perfectly free to go...

Throw your doubt and anger out over the water
America is calling ya
Your biggest fear, your darkest hour won't be back to haunt you.
America is calling ya

Albert the French will love you, the Germans will quote you and the Swiss will heap praise on their Albert. There's nothing bigger.
The world is a sigh in the hot breath of time so go...

Throw your doubt and anger out over the water
America is calling ya
Your biggest fear, your darkest hour won't be back to haunt you.
America is calling ya
