Close your eyes, rest awhile
Let the noise of life surround you
Friends in the front room, stereo
Hear your heart beat, beat, beat
Read some book of knowledge
For your own information
There must be, there must be something
Lost in translation

Looking up words
Checking the dictionary
Isn't anything clear?
Is nothing cut and dried?
Double meanings everywhere
Will someone please stand apart
From the crowd

Stop your stirring, nothing's there
Just the dresser drawers and mirror
Dust on the old clock radio
Watch the time tick, tick, tick
Read some book of knowledge
For your own information
There must be, there must be something
