[Verse 1]
Name — I ought to have a name
But for the moment I can’t think of it
Topics — I welcome your topics
The wind that blows this way sounds a lot like Latin
[Chorus]
Where are you
Where are you
Where are you
Where are you
There?
[Verse 2]
Toys! Who bought the new toys
The ants are moving things from my brain
Spirits! There must be a spirit in this space
That wipes the paint from off the wall
[Chorus]
Where am I
Where am I
Where am I
Where am I
There?
[Chorus]
Where oh
Where am I
Where am I
Where am I
Where am I
There?
[Bridge]
Bit by bit, drop by drop, my childhood home
Has become a no place to return to
The sound in my brain goes clickity-clack, is a clackity-clank
The beauty of filling in the blank
An old clock pendulum twisted out of shape
Ding-dong, bing-bong it answers with a sigh
The jottings of these whipper-snappers
Are dripping wet drip drop, plip-plop
They hum and haw no clear-cut answer answer answer
The beep-beep-beep of a conversation cut short
Beep-beep you report please answer
Hey, hey, you say tick-tock, tick-tock, he says in answer tick-tock tick-tock
(Da-da-da-da)
(Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da)
[Outro]
The past, the past is covered in bedclothes
Peeled from my skin
