Lyrics
(Facsimile reprise)
- The other day out in the garden
- I saw your picture on TV
- You wouldn't say what was the matter
- Just like the way you did for me
(main)
- You will live in a jar
- You will travel very far
- You will wonder who you are
- You will live with a cat
- Who says how about that
- And a little sports car
- Take me away from this riddle
- 'Cause I never heard the sound
- always running through my heart
- You will live in a tent
- You will be the president
- You will wonder what I meant
- You will live over there
- You will vanish in the air
- You will think that I don't care
- Take me away from this riddle
- 'Cause I never heard the sound
- always running through my heart
- You will be in a show
- Your progress will be slow
- You will not know where to go
- You will tell me what to do
- I won't listen to you
- Your mom will be there too
- You will be all alone
- You will be on the phone
- You will speak at the tone
- The answer will be near
- You will tremble with fear
- You will shed a silent tear
(repeat from start thru "you will speak at the tone")
