Bass — playing in my face — grabbin' the elastic
Drums — listen here she comes — hammerin' the plastic
Keys — I play 'em all with ease — Freeze! Your shakin' at the knees
You’re doin' somethin' drastic — chasin' the fantastic…
To dine with tigers in the sky
But did you ever stop to wonder why?
Man — living in a can — skippin' with a suit-case
Frail — living in a gale — slipping on a blue face
Claws — are scratching at the doors — Pause: If you don’t lose your oars
You’re trippin' on a shoe lace — racin' to each new place…
To screw your shadow in the sky
But did you ever stop to wonder why?
Sun — help me when I run — bleedin' from the moonlight
Nurse — help me with a verse — I need to sing the tune right
Days — I wasted in the maze — Raise your eyes above the ways
To keep a silver spoon bright — fly up to balloon height…
To ride the spotlight in the sky
But did you ever stop to wonder why?
