I shake my head and shiver 
 They smile 
 And then stab my back as they shake my hand 
 Send out an SOS plea 
 Come quickly 
 I'm marooned in monkeyland 
 Is there anyone there 
 Who understands me 
 Anyone at all 
 
 I'm idly staring at the sky 
 Did anybody hear me sigh 
 A million stars are a moving sight 
 To all you out there 
 Reading this tonight 
 It's just a trick of the light 
 
 I have to know what is real 
 And what is illusion 
 Tell me how does it feel 
 Beyond this confusion 
 Is there anyone there 
 
 Do I dismiss this with a sigh 
 Suppose I must from time to time 
 And let the answers pass me by 
 To questions set to bend the mind 
 Is my creator a God or a man 
 Does someone somewhere 
 Care or understand 
 It's just a trick of the light 
 
 I have to know what is real 
 And what is illusion 
 Tell me how does it feel 
 Beyond this confusion 
 Is there anyone there 
 
 Life's an optical illusion 
 Like other optical illusions 
 Beware 
 If there's anyone there
