Oh Lord! When? How?
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
He'll pick a moment
He'll take a chance
He'll invite us all to a fatal dance
Such a man and such a mess - it's not an easy guess
I know that look
I know that face
I'd better get ready to hunt and trace
Bit by bit and on and on -and then he's gone
Oh lord! When? How?
Such a major mess -it's not an easy guess
For a second or two he might appear
It takes a second or less and he'll disappear
Such a man and such a mess -it's not an easy guess
