In an old house down by the beach Lives an old man who's just out of reach Oh oh, he's got nothing to lose Some say he's a crazy old man A refugee from a rock and roll band Oh oh, he's still playing the blues In the morning when you rise Aren't you glad to be alive Oh oh, put on your barefoot shoes When you dance beneath the moon rainbow Can't you feel the afterglow Oh oh, why the things we do Why the things we do Why the things we do In the driftwood house you learn how to dream Truth is stranger than fishing, it seems Oh oh, there's no earthly rules And the people come just to hear him say Life's too short to live your way Oh oh, who's really fooling who Invisible means are the key to support Makes you king in your own court Oh oh, what have you got to lose Push the sadness from your heart There's no living after dark Oh oh, why the things we do Why the things we do Why the things we... Why the things we do Why the things we do Why the things we do Why the things we do In the morning when you rise Aren't you glad to be alive Oh oh, put on your barefoot shoes When you dance beneath the moon rainbow Can't you feel the afterglow Oh oh, that's why the things we do That's why the things we do That's why the things we do That's why the things we do
