Walking In The Wind

You walk and talk and move around in circles
 Your friends telling you you are doing fine
 You can't see that snowball as it hurtles
 Through the shattered membranes of your mind
 If I could talk to you for just one minute
 Then you would know what it is I am getting at
 But there again your head's got nothing in it
 By the way you left without your hat
 I'm walking in the wind looking at the sky
 Hanging on a breeze and wondering why, why
 Your old man's headed for the final pay-off
 The joker that you got is fading too
 And all the sharks that come around for the rip-off
 Are gonna tear the flesh right off you
 The plastic princess hangs her head in wonder at the silver glittered boys
 Trying, trying to compete
 And all at once the room begins to thunder
 And all that's left is the stain on the sheet
 The prostitute is standing on the corner
 Suffering so much pain to stay alive
 She's so real, that life itself bows down before her
 She couldn't make that nine to five
 While the president is crying, crying in the White House
 The prime minister's really got the blues
 All the heads of state are busy playing cat & mouse
 'Cause you can see none of them have ever paid their dues
 God knows why, why, why
