All around the alphabet to hide a sadder tale
Of someone sad at circling the circumference
Show me the way from the periphery
But everybody is wrapped in a warm embrace
With their arms around the answers
While I'm wrapped up in my own rigmarole because
I can't have that in my life, but soon I'll find
I won't have that in my life
Right or righteous? - I can't say
Another day, another dilemma
Don't have the time, thirst, wish, itch or urge to fit
Well, that's my story and I am stuck with it
I can't have that in my life, but soon I'll find
I won't have that in my life
You're deep in conversation where you really swim
And in the shallow water, I'm the first one in
A straight-forward answer is out of the question
Why her whole body joins in in the way she smiles but
It's all too much of a muchness for me
I can't have that in my life, but soon I'll find
I won't have that in my life
I'm the man who missed a sitter, the pearly-gate crasher
The king's new clothes hanger, skeptical sucker
Straight man gone solo, drunk or canned laughter
I'm sorry, what was the question again?
