Watchin’ It Go

Me, it seems I’m spendin’ most of my time

Spendin’ ten cents while I’m makin’ a dime

Tryin’ to make sense out of life’s mixed up rhyme

Meantime I’m watchin’ it go

The butterfly spins in his little cocoon

Thinkin’ of songs that he’ll be singing soon

So few will listen to the butterfly’s tune

Me I’m just watchin’ it go

Watchin’ it go

Wantin’ to know

Where do you go when you’ve been

Poor Cinderella she’s bowin’ her head

Tellin’ some stranger what a hard life she’s led

Glass slippers sound asleep under the bed

Sadly I’m watchin’ her go

Prince Charming dressed in disarmin’ disguise

Flashin’ his charms as he’s blindin’ her eyes

Mornin’ will hear ‘em say their sunshine goodbyes

Me, I’ve seen a few of them go

Watchin’ it go

Wantin’ to know

Where do you go when you’ve been

Me, like so many, I’ve tried so many things

Walkin’ on crutches and callin’ them wings

Wonderin’ who’s pullin’ the puppeteer’s strings

Me, I’m just wantin’ to know

Minds too confined they keep wantin’ to roam

Lookin’ for a life that will leave them alone

I hear ‘em singin’ now they want to go home

Knowin’ they never can go

Watchin’ it go

Wantin’ to know

Where do you go when you’ve been

Watchin’ it go

Wantin’ to know

Where do you go when you’ve been
