I don’t know, can’t you see
I’m just passing through, fast as you
don’t as me.
Careering out of control
Disappearing down the Black Hole,
Careering — the white man’s soul.
Stands stark naked in the floodlight glare,
stands stark raving on the strap…
I’ve had the feeling the 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 as 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.
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 waves
Than my pension slip;
Careering down the Cresta Run,
I screw it up just like anyone.
Careering — 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 —
don’t ask me,
don’t ask me,
don’t as me.
