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")
