Lyrics

Sometimes I wonder if you're really living Oh what is this feeling you think that you're giving Well you can sit down, wrecked and dismayed Wondering where are all the plans that you laid You can watch rafferty turn into a serial You can watch rafferty turn into a serial You can watch rafferty turn into a serial Just like a cartoon by AAP Oh it's just like a cartoon by AAP, oh yeah Oh whether to phone you Or whether to see you I never do anything You never do things for me I wander around I just wander around I just wander around I just wander around You can watch rafferty turn into a serial You can watch rafferty turn into a serial You can watch rafferty turn into a serial So here comes my head And my hand just behind so yeah yeah yeah I stand in the street I look for someone to meet But you don't call me or phone Oh you're never alone I wander around I just wander around I just wander around I just wander around You can watch rafferty turn into a serial You can watch rafferty turn into a serial You can watch rafferty turn into a serial Just like a cartoon by AAP You can watch rafferty turn into a serial It's just like sleeping gas Now it's so ethereal It's just like sleeping gas Now it's so ethereal It's just like sleeping gas Now it's so ethereal I wander around I just wander around I just wander around I just wander around I just wander around I just wander around I just wander around I just wander around
