I said I was sad and you applauded
Said I cried and you bought it
Said I needed money you gave me whiskey
Said I want to talk you said you'd phone me
And so it is
My advice to anyone
Who wants to live a life like this
It's only temporary
So why are you complaining
We are all just floating on by
Sometimes gentle often high
When a gust of crisis hits you by surprise
Yeah but mostly, mostly we are just standing so still
Time ticking on fractured stills
And believe me there is nothing practically nothing You can do
To control the things that happen to you
So smile smile and float on by
And be kind be kind be kind
