| Now you may have observed if you walk into a wall
|
| You get a certain sensation of reality
|
| When you take a look through your memory book
|
| You may perceive a certain rhythmic regularity
|
| The crazy things your mind gets up to when you’re away
|
| Throwing clouds of rain over brightest day
|
| There was once a little man
|
| He worked all day and slept all the night
|
| He looked at the sun
|
| It didn’t seem bright, it didn’t seen right
|
| He wondered did the world go rolling along on its own
|
| Or did some spirit move it with a black cat bone
|
| And he set out to find the causes behind
|
| The events in the world
|
| And the seasons of the mind
|
| So he asked his wife about it, and his wife said yes
|
| Come back and see me if it’s time to know less
|
| You do too much aquestioning of the world at large
|
| Everybody knows the politician’s in charge
|
| So he went to the Kinghouse just the next day
|
| To see that politician with his hair dyed grey
|
| Jump down turn around blow you up or kiss the ground
|
| Trying to be the president of the land so gay
|
| He had false pretendies, I had to love his style
|
| Bound to make some havoc with that violin smile
|
| Hey, Salvador Dali, make a walking talking something
|
| You paint some freaky pictures, make a likeness of that man
|
| Muchos dollars if you can
|
| So the little man asked the politician who makes the plan
|
| Who makes the plan, what happens to me
|
| And who has the key
|
| Now you are asking me who makes the scene
|
| His highness King Gold and Madam Silver his queen
|
| They keep it all arustling with the dollars and pounds
|
| And everyone knows that money makes the world go round
|
| So the little man asked King Gold and Madam Silver
|
| Come tell me what you can
|
| And King Gold said, lifting his golden voice from his golden bed
|
| Now money is something, it’s a basic flow
|
| And me I am the archetype of jewels and dough
|
| I do a lot of talking both slow and fast
|
| But me make decisions, no of course it’s the past
|
| For the past is something, we all have some
|
| And universal history is a bundle of fun
|
| Now I’m getting sleepy, starting to nod
|
| If you want to check the picture, want to check the picture
|
| Want to check it, check it with God
|
| And so the little man climbed up on a rickety ladder, to the heavenly lands
|
| And he shed a tear, 'it's all so queer and it doesn’t seem clear'
|
| Now God was sitting easy in a heavenly chair
|
| Breathing deep and lazy on the heavenly air
|
| The little man got near him just to get right from wrong
|
| Said 'God are you responsible for all that goes on'
|
| God looked up from having a heavenly think
|
| He gave that little questioner a heavenly wink, saying
|
| 'men have coloured me with the colours of their minds
|
| So I find
|
| They used me as an excuse for all kinds of goofs
|
| And for crimes of all kinds
|
| All your so hard facts painted thinly on the void
|
| Why were you not more pleasantly employed
|
| Anything you want to do, I’m happy if you make it go right
|
| And it’s true if it makes you happy you know it makes the
|
| World more bright
|
| And you shall have liberty
|
| It always was yours anyway
|
| You’re one of my kind, you’re an infinite mind
|
| You make each new day
|
| There’s nothing more I can say' |
