It started off so easy and now it's clear as mud

Your life is complicated and I'd help you if I could

Time is slipping by you know and things are moving fast

You've got a long wait ahead my friend, if you save the best for last

It's bleeding obvious

What a thing to say

Don't mind the rest of us

Have it your own way

You raise your voice to make your point and I'm trying to get some sleep

I said man it's all right by me, but you're getting in way too deep

I got it all the first time 'round so turn it down, give it a rest

It's not that complicated and I know what's coming next

It's all so obvious

You shouldn't be surprised

But I find it curious

They don't have it in your size

I have forgotten where we started

'Cause somewhere along the line

The salient point departed

And parked itself in a back street

In a lonely part of town

It was lost in the fog of time

You started so well

Then went off on a trip around the world

Everywhere under the sun

If you ever return

We'll see if you learned

That it all adds up to one

I know you think I'm stupid but you got to give me time

I'm sitting with my hand up but you send me to the back of the line

I hear you but it's all too much for the likes of little old me

You say this and that and who knows what, it's so hard to believe

It's bleeding obvious

If what you're trying to say's

The same as all the rest of us

In quite another way
