I don't know, can't you see
I'm just passing through, fast as you â??
don't ask me.
Careering out of control
disappearing down the black hole,
careering â?? the white man's soul
stands stark naked in the floodlight glare,
stands stark raving on the strap.
I've had the feeling that I've been there
but I can't quite believe it.
I don't know, can't you see
I'm just passing through, fast as you
so don't ask me.
Careering, simply day to day,
engineering everything I say,
careering for the work and the pay.
I'm just a passenger passing through,
I'm just an average chap.
(We are normal.)
If I said I hadn't got a clue
there'd still come the questions.
I don't know, can't you see
I'm just another case of wasted space
so don't ask me.
Careering, my apprenticeship
no nearer than my pension slip;
careering down the Cresta Run,
I screw it up just like anyone;
careering â?? pointless anyway
to do it just for the work and the pay.
Look here:
I don't know, can't you see
I'm so near the end, get it straight, friend â??
don't ask me,
don't ask me,
don't ask me.
