It started off so easy and now it's clear as mud Your life is complicated and I'd help you if I could Time is slipping by you know and things are moving fast You've got a long wait ahead my friend, if you save the best for last It's bleeding obvious What a thing to say Don't mind the rest of us Have it your own way You raise your voice to make your point and I'm trying to get some sleep I said man it's all right by me, but you're getting in way too deep I got it all the first time 'round so turn it down, give it a rest It's not that complicated and I know what's coming next It's all so obvious You shouldn't be surprised But I find it curious They don't have it in your size I have forgotten where we started 'Cause somewhere along the line The salient point departed And parked itself in a back street In a lonely part of town It was lost in the fog of time You started so well Then went off on a trip around the world Everywhere under the sun If you ever return We'll see if you learned That it all adds up to one I know you think I'm stupid but you got to give me time I'm sitting with my hand up but you send me to the back of the line I hear you but it's all too much for the likes of little old me You say this and that and who knows what, it's so hard to believe It's bleeding obvious If what you're trying to say's The same as all the rest of us In quite another way
