It's a strange arrangement |
|
I don't claim to understand it |
|
I know I created it |
|
But I never planned it |
|
It's a strange arrangement |
|
And I'm not proud |
|
Well perhaps a little ashamed |
|
If ashamed is allowed |
|
At the death of the year |
|
In a crucial hour |
|
I exchanged the power of love |
|
For the love of power |
|
The invisible captain |
|
Must be laughing out loud |
|
I feel as if I'm wrapped inside a |
|
Cloud within a cloud |
|
It's a strange arrangement |
|
And it's fascinating to see |
|
Which way the worm turns |
|
Especially when the worm is me |
|
Runaway child |
|
I wish you were here |
|
The weather is uncommonly mild |
|
For this time of year |
|
But it's no cause for pity |
|
And it's no reason to weep |
|
Worse things can befall a man when he's |
|
In his bed counting sheep |
|
It's a strange arrangement |
|
An accommodation deluxe |
|
I'll send you a postcard |
|
When I've had enough |
