I like to take things one step at a time
One foot in front of the other I like to think things will all work out fine And follow along behind those One act play-things can give you a thrill Guess it depends on the actor Dreams can come true, but some things never will As a matter of fact, those things are driving me crazy Those things are keeping me sane I like to take things and make a design Keep a low profile. Oh and I like to take things and put them to rhyme Like those things that are confusing And the things that seem so clear And the things that seem so far away And yet they seem so near There are some things I have lost And a few things I have found Weel it's so hard to keep track of things There's so many around There's so many around And there's things we have to look for And a few we never find And we all have things in common You got your thing, I've got mine And some things they just happen And some things you can plan And some of those things you just can't help But some of them you can Oh, some of them you can As a matter of fact, those things Are driving me crazy Those things are keeping me sane Some things turn out all wrong And some things turn out all right Some things don't turn out at all But then again they might There are things that come too soon And some things that come too late It's the best thing to come too early So you have some time to wait Oh, have some time to wait Well it's hard to talk with words There's some things you just can't say And it's best to leave some things alone In case they go away You can share some things with friends There's some things we've all been thru' Well it's things like this and things like that And how are things with you? Oh, how do you do? You can hang things on your wall You can leave your things around You can mark some things 2001, and put them in the ground And maybe later on, they will dig them up some day And ooh and ahh, and 'how 'bout that?' Who knows the things they'll say |

Out in the middle of nowhere
Gathered around in the barn Animals all in agreement They was down on the farm There was talk of all the boring hours Standin' around with a nothin' to do It was just another boring evening With a pail of boring things to chew There was cows and horses and sheeps and pigs They was tired of the daily routine They was plannin' on havin' themselves a bash Gonna throw a great big wing-ding So they said let's do it, play some rock and roll And they got all loose and had a few And before they knew it, they was out of control Turned into a regular zoo They was tired of the daily routine Havin' themselves a great big bash They was gathering steam And the pig grabbed a chicken Said come on over, let's do-si-do a few And the chick said no, you're covered with mud Called him a pig and it was true And every gol' dang one o' their tails was a waggin' Under the old horse-shoe That night the animals fell off the wagon And a tractor or two Well they was out in the middle of nowhere They was rockin' out in the barn They was tearin' it up in the hayloft Gettin' down on the farm |

Sometimes I can't help the feeling that I'm
Living a life of illusion And oh, why can't we let it be And see through the hole in this wall of confusion I just can't help the feeling I'm Living a life of illusion Pow! Right between the eyes Oh, how nature loves her little surprises Wow! It all seems so logical now It's just one of her better disguises And it comes with no warning Nature loves her little surprises Continual crisis Hey, don't you know it's a waste of your day Caught up in endless solutions That have no meaning, just another hunch Based upon jumping conclusions Caught up in endless solutions Backed up against a wall of confusion Living a life of illusion |

Secrets always travel farther than they should
And loose translations float around the neighbourhood And rumours don't do anyone a bit of good They just get started, funny you never know You never know The first-amendment vigilante attitude The gospel truth according to the book of Someone said so The front line grapevine jury's in a nasty mood You might be guilty, honey you'll never know You never know Did you hear about the gossip column Senate subcommitte probe The allegations put the neck around your rope The nominations droolin' on the envelope A likely story, funny you'll never know You never know, you never know You never know |
