Well you can ride on the crest of a wave if that's where you want to be But does the look on your face mean you're really feeling happy Or do you feel like you're standing on a wooden leg Or a poor man much to proud to beg Or a page from a book that can't be read at all
Well you can see by the way that they are talking That it's time for you to pick up your grip and start walking 'Cause they want to see your long ... legs flying Go to the place where the earth meets the sky and Don't turn around and wave goodbye at all
They won't be satisfied, till you're out of their sight But I wonder how will you feel With a deck of cards and you're not around to deal You're not around to deal , yeah
They won't be satisfied, till you're out of their sight But I wonder how will you feel With a deck of cards and you're not around to deal You're not around to deal , yeah
You can say it's a lie, a joke that you are living But you know one thing they don't, You won't give in 'Cause you're like a cat chasin' its tail makes a million circles But you're gonna fail Sometimes you just don't understand
