A funny thing happens when I think of wrong and right,
I go round in circles as I go to sleep at night,
And all the stupid tales we tell, they never go nowhere,
I sometimes think that all we dream are castles in the air.
And every conversation is the same,
pull out the well-worn clichés, expound on things inane,
what I'd rather hear is you call my name.
Well pardon my ignorance but I cannot see,
The more that you tell me, the less clear it is to me.
What seemed at first simple is now confused,
Words are mute victims, so easily abused.
(Repeat Chorus)
I'm a jumble of confusions, and other people's words,
Tomorrow I'll repeat what I just heard,
Whenever it comes to arguing, I know quite where I stand,
I never know just where I'm gonna' land.
(Repeat Chorus)
Whatever you say we can turn it around,
Turn it around, we'll turn it upside down,
Whatever you say, we can turn it around,
Turn it around, we'll turn it upside down,
A funny thing happens and it happens all the time,
When people talk they tend to forget their minds,
So let's talk a little now, let's try and talk a little now,
let's try and talk and talk and talk out loud.
I go round in circles as I go to sleep at night,
And all the stupid tales we tell, they never go nowhere,
I sometimes think that all we dream are castles in the air.
And every conversation is the same,
pull out the well-worn clichés, expound on things inane,
what I'd rather hear is you call my name.
Well pardon my ignorance but I cannot see,
The more that you tell me, the less clear it is to me.
What seemed at first simple is now confused,
Words are mute victims, so easily abused.
(Repeat Chorus)
I'm a jumble of confusions, and other people's words,
Tomorrow I'll repeat what I just heard,
Whenever it comes to arguing, I know quite where I stand,
I never know just where I'm gonna' land.
(Repeat Chorus)
Whatever you say we can turn it around,
Turn it around, we'll turn it upside down,
Whatever you say, we can turn it around,
Turn it around, we'll turn it upside down,
A funny thing happens and it happens all the time,
When people talk they tend to forget their minds,
So let's talk a little now, let's try and talk a little now,
let's try and talk and talk and talk out loud.
