There's nothing in the way I walk that could tell you where I'm goingThere's nothing in the words I speak that can betray anything I'm knowingDon't think about the way I dress, you can fit me on a labeled shelfDon't pretend that you know me 'cause I don't even know myselfOoh I don't know myself
I don't mind if you try once in a whileI don't mind if I cry once in a whileThe doors aren't shut as tight as they might seemI'm just trying to fight my way out of this dream
Don't listen to the words I say, weighing up if I'm enlightenedDon't shiver as you pass me by, 'cause mister I'm the one who's frightenedThe police just came and left, they wanted me and no one elseDon't pretend that you know me 'cause I don't even know myselfI said I don't know myself
I don't mind if you try once in a whileI don't mind if I cry once in a whileThe doors aren't shut as tight as they might seemI'm just trying to fight my way out of this dream
Do you remember me, I don't remember youDo you still love me, you know I think you doI have been gone, and some prison warder knows my screamI'm just trying to fight my way out of this dream
There's only five who know my real nameAnd my mother don't believe they know itWhat she called me is the way I'm stayingAnd no one'll ever know itCome on all of you big boys, come on all of you elvesDon't pretend that you know me 'cause I don't even know myselfI said I don't know myself
I don't mind if you try once in a whileAnd I don't mind if I cry once in a while

On top of the skyIs a place where you goIf you've done nothing wrongIf you've done nothing wrong
And down in the groundIs a place where you goIf you've been a bad boyIf you've been a bad boy
Why can't we have eternal lifeAnd never die?Never die?
In the place up aboveYou grow feather wingsAnd you fly round and roundWith a harp singing hymns
And down in the groundYou grow horns and a tailAnd you carry a forkAnd molder away
Why can't we have eternal lifeAnd never die?Never die?

When I was a baby I hadn't a care in the worldBut now I'm a man, my troubles fill my headWhen I was five it was good to be aliveBut now I'm a man, I wish that I were dead
My how time rushes byThe moment you're born you start to dieTime waits for no manAnd your life's spent, it's over before you begin
As I sit here at my windowMy life comes back to meIt's been so long since the good daysIt's been so long
And I count up all the wasted yearsThe hopes and the fearsThe laughs and the tearsAnd I wonder, I wonder, I wonder what went wrong
When I was a boy I had the mind of a boyBut now I'm a man, ain't got no mind at allWhen I was in my teens I had my share of dreamsBut now I'm a man, ain't got no dreams at all
My how time rushes byThe moment you're born you start to dieTime waits for no manAnd your life's spent, it's over before you begin
As I sit here at my windowMy life comes back to meIt's been so long since the good daysIt's been so long
And I count up all the wasted yearsThe hopes and the fearsThe laughs and the tearsAnd I wonder, I wonder, I wonder what went wrong

You can hear it in the streetSee it in the dragging feetThe word is getting out about controlSpies they're come and goneThe story travels onThe only quiet place is inside your soul
From tree to treeFrom you to meTraveling twice as fast as on any freewayEvery single dreamIs wrapped up in the schemeThey all get carried on the relay
Pass it on
Someone disapprovesOf what you say or doI was asked to see what I could learn youDon't believe your eyesThey're seeing only liesWhat is done in the first place don't concern you
From tree to treeFrom you to meTraveling twice as fast as on any freewayEvery single dreamIs wrapped up in the schemeThey all get carried on the relay
Relay, things are brewingRelay, something's doin'Relay, it's a revolutionRelay, relayHand me down a solution!
Pass it on

You can pack up your bags and go lookingFor all things that need to be doneOr you can spend all your life not thinkingNever ending what you begun
You take a step in the right directionBut the man knocks us down on the floorAnd although he may think we are brokenWe'll get up and take two steps more
It's your life to do what you want toBy the way you push yourself out to the foreAnd whatever you think of the reasonYou bet your life you're here for more
It's your life to do what you want toBy the way you push yourself out to the foreAnd whatever you think of the reasonYou bet your life you're here for more
You may think that you're pretty good peopleAnd you run at an even scoreBut whatever you think you are here forYou bet your life you're here for more

The foreman over there hates the gangThe poor people on the porch get it so roughThe truck driver drives like a devilThe policemen - they're acting so toughThey need waterGood, good waterWe need waterAnd I'm sure there ain't one of us hereWho'd say, "no" to somebody's daughter(No... no.... no... no... no...)
Sampson seems sorta sweatyThe draftsmen- they smudged their workThe captain of a ship is swimmingThen just wore off a keen bank clerk
We need waterGood, good waterWe need waterAnd maybe somebody's daughter
C'mon, gimme good waterC'mon, gimme good waterC'mon, gimme good waterPlease don't refuse me, misterI've seen your daughter at the oasisAnd I'm beginning to blister
A Chevrolet just made steamYour crop is laying foulMy grass skirt's lost its greenI'm alive, but I don't know how
We need waterGood, good waterWe need waterAnd maybe somebody's daughter
Gimme good water
Indian Lake is burnin'New York's skyline is hazyThe River Thames is turnin' dryThe whole world is a-blazin'
We need waterGood, good waterWe need waterAnd maybe somebody's daughter
Ah, gimme what I need
