(Winwood/Capaldi) |
|
You walk and talk and move around in circles |
|
Your friends telling you you are doing fine |
|
You can't see that snowball as it hurtles |
|
Through the shattered membranes of your mind |
|
If I could talk to you for just one minute |
|
Then you would know what it is |
|
I am getting at |
|
But there again your head's got nothing in it |
|
By the way you left without your hat |
|
I'm walking in the wind looking at the sky |
|
Hanging on a breeze and wondering why, why |
|
Your old man's headed for the final pay-off |
|
The joker that you got is fading too |
|
And all the sharks that come around for the rip-off |
|
Are gonna tear the flesh right off you |
|
The plastic princess hangs her head in wonder at the silver glittered boys |
|
Trying, trying to compete |
|
And all at once the room begins to thunder |
|
And all that's left is the stain on the sheet |
|
The prostitute is standing on the corner |
|
Suffering so much pain to stay alive |
|
She's so real, that life itself bows down before her |
|
She couldn't make that nine to five |
|
While the president is crying, crying in the |
|
White House |
|
The prime minister's really got the blues |
|
All the heads of state are busy playing cat & mouse ' |
|
Cause you can see none of them have ever paid their dues |
|
God knows why, why, why ------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
