[Verse 1]
His body gently falls
From a future that smacks of failure
He mulls and mulls
An age-old prejudice smelling of curry
His smile maps a thought
Anointing a forehead
His every word belies
The evil gleaming in his eyes
[Pre-Chorus]
Some talk, some laugh, but no one understands
Some weep, some pray, but no one can be cured
They who say they have a cure must be omnipotent
A talking-cure is impotent, because I ain’t hearing a thing
[Chorus]
Welcome to our soliloquizing kingdom
Where nonsense is the prevailing wisdom
Every walk of life neither fish nor fowl
No one heeds, no one listens, nor the bright tell day from night
[Verse 2]
He wrote a kind of Comedie humaine
He swore had come from Heaven
He gathered great crowds
Who all imagined they were noble
They talk of love
But their souls are dry-as-dust
Even face to face
They make neither rhyme nor reason
[Pre-Chorus]
Some talk, some laugh, but no one understands
Some weep, some pray, but no one can be cured
They who say they have a cure must be omnipotent
A talking-cure is impotent, because I ain’t hearing a thing
[Chorus]
Welcome to our soliloquizing kingdom (Hey)
Where nonsense is the prevailing wisdom (Hey)
Every walk of life neither fish nor fowl (Hey)
No one heeds, no one listens, nor the bright tell day from night
[Bridge]
When did we forget the name we go by?
When did we all become so me-me-me?
How long have we been stranded here?
Turn a deaf ear in every sphere?
Hide our very selves behind a mask?
Believe lip-service sweeter than a balladeer?
When did the real me-in-me become so unclear?
I ain’t hearing a thing
Ain’t hearing a thing
[Chorus]
Welcome to our soliloquizing kingdom (Hey)
Where nonsense is the prevailing wisdom (Hey)
Every walk of life neither fish nor fowl (Hey)
No one heeds, no one listens, nor the bright tell day from night
[Chorus]
Welcome to our soliloquizing kingdom (Hey)
Where nonsense is the prevailing wisdom (Hey)
Every walk of life neither fish nor fowl (Hey)
No one heeds, no one listens, nor the bright tell day from night
He-yeah-yeah (Hey Hey Hey Hey)
