Why the kettle dry
Why the empty eye
Why the vacant sky
Why the sunspots cry.
The kettle dry
The sunspots cry
The empty eye
The vacant sky
And you ask me...
Why the kettle dry
Why...
Well, you aint gonna like it
Well, you aint gonna like it, darling.
If you want you can buy it
But it wont wait, darling.
You say you want to understand
You say you won't be underhand.
Why the kettle dry
Why....
Why the scarecrow cry
Why the rainbow fly
Why the planets die
Why the kettle dry.
The scarecrow cry
With an empty eye
The rainbow fly
In the vacant sky
The planets die
And the sunspots cry.
The kettle dry
And you ask me...
Why the kettle dry
Why...
Well, you aint gonna like it
It's no use tryin to fight it, darling
It's so bad i can't stand it
I'm moving out, darling
It's time you came to understand
You never again will hold my hand.
Why the kettle dry
Why...
Whyyy....
