only clouds no birds race across the sky
i chase my errands in circles
go on do not stop do not ask me why?
sad songs at funerals when a man dies
are simple acknowledge no miracles --
only clouds no birds race across the sky
i chase my errands i sell and i buy
and birds? they perform in a circus
go on do not stop do not ask me: why?
my shirt's white i wear a colorful tie
my face shows a web of wrinkles:
only clouds no birds race across the sky!
you're gaping at heavens searching for a pie
but your pie only wiggles and wiggles
go on do not stop! do not ask me why?
i like my fate her humor so wry
for an ice-cream she serves me some icicles
only clouds no birds race across the sky
Go on do not stop do not ask me: why?
