It's been a while Can't remember why I waited so long Maybe the tide's wrong Always in line to get to the breakers, Tend to the dugong Then I wonder why I get what I ask for I thread through the blue Kinda like a wire coils in a straight line I'm on a fixed route Always obliged, I aim for the shoreline The way you're supposed to Then I wonder why I get what I ask for Then I wonder why I get what I ask for The train home never runs off course Then I wonder why I get what I ask for You set sail for the farthest port Then I wonder why I get what I ask for A stroll over the tape transport Then I wonder why I get what I ask for An age-old au revoir is born
