I shake my head and shiver They smile and they stab my back As they shake my hand Send out an S.O.S. please. Come quickly, I'm marooned in monkeyland.
Is there anyone there who understands me, anyone at all?
I'm idly staring at the sky Did anybody hear me sigh A million stars are a moving sight To all you out there hearing me tonight
It's just a trick of the light, yeah it's just a trick of the light. I have to know what is real and what is illusion Uh, how does it feel beyond this confusion?
Is there anyone there?
Do I dismiss this with a sigh? (Oh yes, you must from time to time) And let the answers pass me by? (More questions there to bend the mind) Is my creator a God or a man? (Yes, and yours too) Does someone somewhere care and understand?
It's just a trick of the light, yeah it's just a trick of the light. I have to know what is real and what is illusion (Rest of chorus)
Is there anyone there? Life's an optical illusion like other optical illusions Ah, beware (repeat)
