Lyrics
Well, you can ride on the crest of a wave if that's where you want to be
But does the look on your face mean you're really feeling happy?
Or do you feel like you're standing on a wooden leg? Or a poor man much to proud to beg?
Or a page from a book that can't be read at all?
Well, you can see by the way that they are talking
That it's time for you to pick up your grip and start walking
'Cause they want to see your long legs flying
Go to the place where the Εarth meets the sky and
Don't stop to turn around and wave goodbye at all
They won't be satisfied till you're out of their sight
But I wonder how will you feel
With a deck of cards and you're not around to deal
You're not around to deal, yeah
They won't be satisfied till you're out of their sight
But I wonder how will you feel
With a deck of cards and you're not around to deal
You're not around to deal
You can say it's a lie, a joke that you are living
But you know one thing they don't; you won't give in
'Cause you're like a cat chasin' its tail makes a million circles but you're gonna fail
Sometimes you just don't understand
Well, you can ride on the crest of a wave if that's where you want to be
But does the look on your face mean you're really feeling happy?
Or do you feel like you're standing on a wooden leg? Or a poor man much to proud to beg?
Or a page from a book that can't be read at all?
Or do you feel like you're standing on a wooden leg? Or a poor man much to proud to beg?
Or a page from a book that can't be read at all?
Read at all
