d*** all those people who don't lose control
Who will never take a foot out of life
You might not think that I care
But you don't know what I know
And d*** all those hippies who stomp empty footed
Upon all what's good or what's pure of the world
You might not think that I care
But you don't know what I know
And bless all those mothers who do all they can
Just to take their thoughts out of the line
I might not know what it's like
But I'm glad that you know
Give me a minute there
Just a minute now
It'll come back to me
I was so sure but you,
a free-wheeling troubadour
You took my mind off the scene
And you know when I know then I know
I know that you know
You asked me blind once if I was a child once
And I said I'm really not sure
How can you know, how can you know
What it is, you don't know
We were a pair once
Of oh such despair oh
We were a child then I'm sure
If we were a child then
We are children... no more
Give me a minute there
Just a minute now
It'll come back to me
I was so sure but you a free-wheeling troubadour
You took my mind off the scene
And you know when I know and I know
I know that you know
You know, you know, you know when I know
I know that you know
Who will never take a foot out of life
You might not think that I care
But you don't know what I know
And d*** all those hippies who stomp empty footed
Upon all what's good or what's pure of the world
You might not think that I care
But you don't know what I know
And bless all those mothers who do all they can
Just to take their thoughts out of the line
I might not know what it's like
But I'm glad that you know
Give me a minute there
Just a minute now
It'll come back to me
I was so sure but you,
a free-wheeling troubadour
You took my mind off the scene
And you know when I know then I know
I know that you know
You asked me blind once if I was a child once
And I said I'm really not sure
How can you know, how can you know
What it is, you don't know
We were a pair once
Of oh such despair oh

If we were a child then

I was so sure but you a free-wheeling troubadour
You took my mind off the scene
And you know when I know and I know
I know that you know
You know, you know, you know when I know
I know that you know
