So I'm just sitting in the van 

waiting for my friends to come

So I can play them all a song 

that hasn't any words

And I've got nothing left to do 

so I'll start to play a game

But it hasn't any rules

and no one comes in second rate

Keep your guard up my friend 

or they'll catch you in the end

And you'd better run like hell

if you want to get away

And I can never find the keys 

so I'll just sit out here and freeze

As the snow falls on my face 

and dissolves the human race



CHORUS:

Hey my friend they'll catch you in the end,

but don't you let them change you

I believe that if you stop to breathe 

you'll only lose your breath

My friend they'll catch you in the end

Well I really must be off; a fool can never wait around

Or he might begin to learn that we're not as smart as he

But I want to find out why the world 

must always pass me by

And no matter how I try I will always come up short

But the music is inside and they can't get in your mind

So just sit right back and play all 

the things you want to say

And I'll find you in the end and you can be my friend

And we'll sit and play a song that hasn't any words

REPEAT CHORUS

Hey now don't you go away feeling so sad

All I ever meant to say was that if you need me 

I'll be glad to lend a hand

CHORUS (2X)
