I shake my head and shiver They smile And then stab my back as they shake my hand Send out an SOS plea Come quickly I'm marooned in monkeyland. Is there anyone there Who understands me Anyone at all I'm idly staring at the sky Did anybody hear me sigh A million stars are a moving sight To all you out there Hearing this tonight It's just a trick of the light I have to know what is real And what is illusion Ohhh, how does it feel Beyond this confusion Is there anyone there Do I dismiss this with a sigh Oh yes you must from time to time And let the answers pass me by To questions set to bend the mind Is my creator a God or a man Does someone somewhere Care or understand It's just a trick of the light I have to know what is real And what is illusion Tell me how does it feel Beyond this confusion For all the tricks of the light Yeah for all the tricks of the light Out there tonight, tonight Life's an optical illusion Like other optical illusions Beware If there's anyone there
