Heard a song the other day

About a major out in space

And though the song was kind of grey

It took me far away

Heard the news the other day

About a sailor oh so gay

And though his policies were grey

They took me far away

'Cause I couldn't stand the thought

Of being taken in again



Have you seen my life, Mr. Groan?

Do you know what it's like to be outside?

All you have to do is smile to cause a landslide

And you do, and you do, Mr. Groan



Heard a song just yesterday

About a man who sold the world away

And though the song was still quite grey

It took me far away

'Cause I couldn't stand the thought

Of being taken in again



Have you seen my life, Mr. Groan?

Do you know what it's like to be outside?

All you have to do is smile to cause a landslide

And you do, and you do, Mr. Groan
