Lyrics
I saw a funny thing the other day
And though it made me laugh, it was a little bit peculiar
I cannot reveal just what it was
My life is a smoke and mirrors show, just like the Wizard of Oz
It?s hard for me to hear a word that?s said
With my fingers in my ears against the hearts and flowers and violins
When angels and demons will fight, they conspire in obscuring the light
I?ve got trouble in my head, in my work and in my bed
And this is very much the bottom line?
I don?t know what to do with myself or anyone else (x4)
I can?t provide an answer straightaway
I listened to the question, but I didn?t comprehend
Perhaps I?ve never understood it from the start
Live it up! But keep it down, down in the bottom of your heart
Oh how do I kill these showers of pain?
Oh how do I fill the empty hours between ?goodbye? and ?hello again??
I?m dancing on the head of a pin ? I?m finished before I begin
I?m at three or four loose ends, I?m depressing all my friends
And the bottom line, as I have said before?
I don?t know what to do with myself or anyone else (x4)
All of a sudden I?m sailing round the world
Trading picture cards and diving for that pearl
Don?t leave your baggage unattended please
I?ve made my mistakes?I?ve purchased some fakes?don?t we all?
I?ve been here before, but I?ve come back for more?
I don?t know what to do?
I DON?T know what to do?
I don?t KNOW what to do?
I don?t know WHAT to do.
I don?t know what to do-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo etc etc.
