Lyrics

(Emerson, lake, palmer, sinfield)

Bass - playing in my face - grabbin' the elastic
Drums - listen here she comes - hammerin' the plastic
Keys - I play 'em all with ease - freeze! your shakin' at the knees
You're doin' somethin' drastic - chasin' the fantastic..
To dine with tigers in the sky
But did you ever stop to wonder why?
Man - living in a can - skippin' with a suit-case
Frail - living in a gale - slipping on a blue face
Claws - are scratching at the doors - pause: if you don't lose your oars
You're trippin' on a shoe lace - racin' to each new place..
To screw your shadow in the sky
But did you ever stop to wonder why?

Sun - help me when I run - bleedin' from the moonlight
Nurse - help me with a verse - I need to sing the tune right
Days - I wasted in the maze - raise your eyes above the ways
To keep a silver spoon bright - fly up to balloon height..
To ride the spotlight in the sky
But did you ever stop to wonder why?
