Well you can ride on the crest of a wave

if that's where you want to be

But does the look on your face

mean you're really feeling happy

or do you feel like you're standing on a wooden leg

or a poor man much too proud to beg

or a page from a book

that can't be read at all



Can't you see by the way

that they are talking

that it's time for you

to pick up your grip start walking

cause they want to see your long legs flying

go to the place where the earth meets the sky

and don't stop to turn around and wave goodbye at all



They won't be satisfied

till you're out of their sight

But i wonder how will they feel

With a deck of cards

and you're not around to deal Yeh



They won't be satisfied

till you're out of their sight

But i wonder how will you feel

With a deck of cards

and you're not around to deal

you're not around to deal



Well they say it's a lie,

it's a joke that you are living

but you know one thing they don't

you won't give in

cause you're like a cat who's chaisin' its tail

makes a million circles but you're gonna fail

sometimes you just don't understand



Well you can ride on the crest of a wave

if that's where you want to be

But does the look on your face

mean you're really feeling happy

or do you feel like you're standing on a wooden leg

or a poor man much too proud to beg

or a page from a book

that can't be read at all



or do you feel that you're standing on a wooden leg

or a poor man much too proud to beg

or a page from a book

that can't be read at all ,read at all
