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 thru 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

Takin’ my time
Choosin’ my lines
Try’n’ to decide what to do
Looks like my stop
Don’t wanna get off
Got myself hung up on you

Seems to me
You don’t wanna talk about it
Seems to me
You just turn your pretty head and walk away

Places I’ve known
Things that I’m growin’
Don’t taste the same without you
I got my self in
The worst mess I’ve been
And I find myself starvin’ without you

Seems to me
Talk all night here comes the mornin’
Seems to me
You just forget what we said and greet the day

I’ve got to cool myself down
Stompin’ around
Thinkin’ some words I can’t name ya
Meet you half way
Got nothing to say
Still I don’t s’ppose I can blame ya

Seems to me
You don’t wanna talk about it
Seems to me
You just turn your pretty head and walk away

They say it’s gonna get cloudy and storm

And then the weather is fine

And they say it’s gonna be partly sunny and warm

And partly cloudy half of the time



And there’s all of these rules

Based on all these predictions

Makes it so hard to define

Where do you draw the line?



Seems like fifty percent’s about the best you can do

Based on latest projections

Oh, ’cause there’s all these laws — all these rules

But then again there’s always exceptions —

To the rules



Amidst all this confusion

Where do you draw the line

Half of the time you are right

You are wrong — half of the time

You are off — you are on

Half of the time you are here right now

Half of the time you are gone —

Half of the time



Cause it never ends

It all depends on

Where you draw the line

When half of the time you are right

You are wrong — half of the time

You are weak — you are strong

Half of the time you’re alone

Half of the time you belong

Half of the time you are here right now

Half of the time you are gone —

Half of the time

Have you ever seen yourself on TV?

Well I have

Have you ever been more famous than me?

Well I have

Have you ever been stung by a bee?

Well I have

Have you ever met Muhammad Ali?

I have, I have



Have you ever had a case of the flu?

Well I have

Have you ever had to escape from a zoo?

I have

Have you ever met the guys in The Who?

Well I have

I’m in Who’s Who, are you?

I am



Have you ever stood in line at the bank?

Had an uncle named Frank?

Have you ever rode around in a tank?

I have



But I’ve never been to Fairbanks Alaska

That’s the only place I’ve never been

Have you ever been everywhere else?

I have, I have



Have you ever locked your keys in your car?

Well I have

Have you ever been thrown out of a bar?

I have

But I’ve never shot 18 under par

And I still don’t know where all those balls are

Except the one that went in some doctor’s car

One time in Lincoln Nebraska



And some day I’m going to Fairbanks Alaska

If it’s the last thing I ever do

Have you ever done everything else?

I have too, I have!
