Oh, hello Mr. Soul, I dropped by to pick up a reason
For the thought that I caught that my head is the event of the season
Why in crowds just a trace of my face could seem so pleasin'
I'll cop out to the change but a stranger is putting the tease on

I was down on a frown when the messenger brought me a letter
I was raised by the praise of a fan who said I upset her
Any girl in the world could have easily known me better
She said, you're strange, but don't change and I let her

In a while will the smile on my face turn to plaster?
Stick around while the clown who is sick does the trick of disaster
For the race of my head and my face is moving much faster
Is it strange I should change? I don't know, why don't you ask her?

Is it strange I should change? I don't know, why don't you ask her?
Is it strange I should change? I don't know, why don't you ask her?
Is it strange I should change? I don't know, why don't you ask her?
Is it strange I should change? I don't know, why don't you ask her?

Well there goes another day
Now I wonder why
You and I, keep telling lies

I can't believe that what you say
'Cause tomorrows lullaby can't pacify
My lonesome crying

Make believe that's all you know
And to make believe is a game
A child's rein, you've changed your name

So sadly I watched the show
I watched you became, truth is the shame
Yeah, too much pain

Look at the sad goodbyes
Everyday's a killing time
Sun coming up outside
No men are born this time
Saturday's child stays home
Nothing to say so long

Well, well, well
Another day
Well, well, well
Another day

Grocery store, ten bucks
Just making change for plastic cherries
Up in a tree, jaybird
Laughing at me, no word
Everyone looks, you can't see
We can't be ignored easily

Well, well, well
Another day
Well, well, well
Another day

Soft within the wayward things
Like ecstasy
The sound of trees
Most anything
What a baby sees

Beautiful face, alright
Many a place, out of sight
Old woman there with red shoes
One million balloons, all used
Drive over hills, forget your fear
Getting it out of second gear

Well, well, well
Another day
Well, well, well
Another day

Well, well, well
Another day
Well, well, well
Another day

Expecting to fly
While I laughed, I wondered whether
I could wave goodbye
Knowin' that you'd gone

By the summer it was healing
We had said goodbye
All the years we'd spent with feeling, ended with a cry
Babe, ended with a cry
Babe, ended with a cry

I tried so hard to stand
As I stumbled and fell to the ground
So hard to laugh as I fumbled
And reached for the love I found
Knowin' it was gone

If I never lived without you
Now you know I'd die
If I never said I loved you
Now you know I'd try
Babe, now you know I'd try
Babe, now you know I'd try
Babe

Listen to my bluebird laugh
She can't tell you why
Deep within her heart, you see
She knows only crying, just crying

There she sits, aloft a perch
Strangest color blue
Flying is forgotten now
Thinks only of you, just you, oh yeah

So get all those blues
Must be a thousand hues
And be just differently used
You just know

You sit there mesmerized
By the depth of her eyes
That you can't categorize
She got soul, she got soul
She got soul, she got soul

Do you think she loves you?
Do you think at all?

Soon she's going to fly away
Sadness is her own
Give herself a bath of tears
And go home and go home

Look what's happening to me,
I'm going blind, please help.
There I sat until three,
Gettin' further behind myself.
Bymyself.

And I'm hung upside down. [2x]
Hung upside down, said I'm
Hung upside down, c'mon, c'mon.
Hung upside down.

Someday I will be free,
And there'll be times, you just wait.
I will come to you, see,
What I'll bring you when I get straight,
Oh it's too late.

And I'm hung upside down. [2x]
Hung upside down, said I'm
Hung upside down, c'mon, c'mon.
Hung upside down.

Soft winds blow in the summer time
Young lovers feel so free
Walking hand in hand down the shady lane
What happened to me? What happened to me?

Did you ever love a girl
Who walked right out on you?
You should know just how I feel then
Why I'm so blue, why I'm so blue

How can I forget those nights
When she kissed me soft and true
And whispered the words only lovers know
I love you, I love you

Well, I've made up my mind
I'll find a new girl who'll love me tenderly
Forget the past, I've left behind now
The sad memory, the sad memory

Soft winds blow in the summer time

Now look what I've done
It seems that I own some
As all it turn back now to see that
In all of of my fat lines
Upstaging a climaxing dream, yeah
'Cause

If it's all right
To be your good time boy
If it's all right
Be your good boy
If it's all right
To be your good time, boy
If it's all right
It's all right, yeah

Sock it to me, now now now

Why should I mind
If I step right out of line
And I get caught be her
Get caught my her, lucky me, yeah
'Cause now I've loved a few
That's why they call me
Call me "good old dude"
And I can't, I can't change right now
It seems, yeah

If it's all right
To be your good time boy
If it's all right
Be your good boy
If it's all right
To be your good time, boy
If it's all right
It's all right, yeah

Sock it to me now
Groove it on me now
You lay it on me now, ooh


Sock it to me now
If it's all right, be your boy
Be your boy
And it's all right
Be your boy

There's a woman that you ought to know
And she's coming, singing soft and low
Singing rock and roll, she's a joy to know

'Neath the shadow of a soothing hand
I am free there, just to make my plans
Dream of far away lands, anything close at hand

And she will follow me wide, do you know
Familiar places she's been by, that I know
Could it be, she don't have to try

And tomorrow, she's a friend of mine
And the sorrow, I see her face is lined
She's no longer blind, she's just hard to find

The lights turned on and the curtain fell down
And when it was over it felt like a dream
They stood at the stage door and begged for a scream
The agents had paid for the black limousine
That waited outside in the rain
Did you see them, did you see them?

Did you see them in the river?
They were there to wave to you
Could you tell that the empty quivered
Brown skinned Indian on the banks
That were crowded and narrow
Held a broken arrow?

Eighteen years of American dream
He saw that his brother had sworn on the wall
He hung up his eyelids and ran down the hall
His mother had told him a trip was a fall
And don't mention babies at all
Did you see him, did you see him?

Did you see him in the river?
He was there to wave to you
Could you tell that the empty quivered
Brown skinned Indian on the banks
That were crowded and narrow
Held a broken arrow?

The streets were lined for the wedding parade
The Queen wore the white gloves, the county of song
The black covered caisson her horses had drawn
Protected her King from the sun rays of dawn
They married for peace and were gone
Did you see them, did you see them?

Did you see them in the river?
They were there to wave to you
Could you tell that the empty quivered
Brown skinned Indian on the banks
That were crowded and narrow
Held a broken arrow?
