and when I'm not I'm closer to the ground

Well, I do anything whenever I want
and I want to do it here and now
I'm a one-way street, I can't retreat
'cos my mind and I play hide and seek

They want to make a problem out of me
'Cos they want their own problems unseen

My mind's a gallery of memories
I reflect the history
I'm the sort of case of the human race
that people find hard to face

I'm the living wreck, I live in Tooting Bec
I'm the Cosmic Ted spaced out of my head
I'm the living wreck, I live in Tooting Bec
And I'm equal to anyone I've met

I'm the second door on the third floor
If you've got the key then please unlock me

But hey, don?t talk to me, I'm not what you see
I'm not here today, I'm miles away
It's twice as much reality when you're
face to face with history

I'm the living wreck, I live in Tooting Bec
I'm the Cosmic Ted spaced out of my head
I'm the living wreck, I live in Tooting Bec
And I'm equal to anyone I've met

I sing lal, la, la, lal, lal, la, lal, lal, la...

I'm the living wreck, I live in Tooting Bec
I'm the Cosmic Ted spaced out of my head
I'm the living wreck, I live in Tooting Bec
And I'm equal to anyone I've met
I'm the living wreck, I live in Tooting Bec
I'm the Cosmic Ted... spaced out of my head
And I'm better than anyone you've met!

And I sing lal, la, la, lal, lal, la, lal, la...
I sing lal, la, la...

You knoew it feels so good when I reappear
and it's so sad to see yourself
Disappear... I disappear... well, it's too bad.

And I sing
