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
