Your brain is an ever-changing kaleidoscope of moods and colours
We walk to the park, but it's melting in the dark
All of a sudden your mood changes and your face looks like a cake
Left out in the rain
Is your name MacArthur Parker?
Or is it Reba?
[Chorus:]
Detour through your mind, supersaver to your mind
We seem to float by yesterday's child
The new you, the land time forgot and a horse with no name
And all of a sudden we realize that we are no more
A key pops out of your nose, we open the door
As we go further into the gloom we chance upon a large orange room
From ear to ear, from the here and now
Who am I? Where am I going? How much will it cost?
I hear another galaxy spinning around
A flash of blinding light and we're in an elegantly appointed doctor's office
It seems that doctor Aron Butterfly wants to dip us in plaster
$16,000! and all he wanted to do was dip us in plaster!
We say to the doctor, "No, please, no!"
And then we get the doctor's bill, what a shock!
[Chorus]
Who am I? Where have I been? Where am I going? Do I need any luggage?
I need to leave my past behind.
