You pick me up, you put me down Although you never made a sound I'm living natural feeling free So I drift away, thinking in blurred photographs All the way to the mansion of my mind You push buttons I pull weight Every single day You're a fool to think I'd waste, and throw this all away Spending all this time Weighs heavy on my dime Everyday, I ain't got a second to waste Well I know I'm no fun When I'm moping like the pope Humming Otis in the rain These arms of mine will hold up hope And I can't tell if I'm owed, or do I owe So I'll put that on the list of all the things I'll never know You pick me up, you put me down And still we're wrapped up in the love That's always hung around Tell me is this all a dream Swimming the unconscious stream That flows into the mansion of my mind Let there be light Let there be longing for a better way of life It's not neurotic it's melodic when we're struggling Hanging from the fallen string Unraveling the fabric of my time Well I know I'm no fun When I'm moping like the pope Humming Otis in the rain These arms of mine will hold up hope And I can't tell if I'm owed, or do I owe So I'll put that on the list of all the things I'll never know
