Let me step inside these shoes Trip awhile of the blues Pull these strings on my hands Playing time with the band I'll tie you up in a ribbon of tune Sing a song that will send you Feeling fine, not just for one moment On down the line until the road ends Through the other side, not just for one moment Chasing after the light till the darkness fades Paint a face that I can buy Make you laugh and make you smile for awhile Dance my legs down a cartoon colored lane Float my fingers down the tracks of a train The song comes blowing out of nowhere Like a trumpet fills the air Feeling fine, not just for one moment On down the line until the road ends Through the other side, not just for one moment Chasing after the light till the darkness fades Tear down the lifelines, let my heart beat free Tear down the lifelines, let my heart beat free Oh, so free Cut the strings away from me Now I'm standing on my own Beat is marching on, the notes have all been flown Flash these lines to a high This puppet needs no lines, let those curtains fly Tie you up in a ribbon of tune Sing a song that you will send you Feeling fine, not just for one moment On down the line till the road ends Through the other side, not just for one moment Chasing after the light till the darkness fades Will I be, will I be afraid
