der zug zooms through the country side
little tiny dorfs fly across mein eyes
parceled up like a checkered board
shades of green stretched right across the floor
it wells right up to my head and stops
a feeling that makes me shake I'm blown away

too much time in my mind
and the hours and days fade away, fade away
too much same, never change
and the months and years just fade away, fade away

she walks gracefully in the lydian mode
when not stumbling tripping all over her toes
and she's got her coffee pot to the top for some added carisma
finish every sentence with a long melisma

but she'd rather travel 'round the whole human world
like she's sent on a mission from god himself
preaching the gospel of "I don't know"
I don't know

too much time in my mind
and the hours and days fade away, fade away
too much same, things never seem change
and the months and years just fade away, fade away

Dedalus, Dedalus
humor her until it's over
Dedalus, Dedalus
humor her until it's over
she's got her lucky clover
