I don't know, can't you see I'm just passing through, fast as you - don't ask me.
Careering out of control disappearing down the black hole, careering - the white man's soul stands stark naked in the floodlight glare, stands stark raving on the strap. I've had the feeling that I've been there but I can't quite believe it.
I don't know, can't you see I'm just passing through, fast as you so don't ask me.
Careering, simply day to day, engineering everything I say, careering for the work and the pay. I'm just a passenger passing through, I'm just an average chap. If I said I hadn't got a clue there'd still come the questions.
I don't know, can't you see I'm just another case of wasted space so don't ask me.
Careering, my apprenticeship no nearer than my pension slip; careering down the Cresta Run, I screw it up just like anyone; careering - pointless anyway to do it just for the work and the pay.
Look here: I don't know, can't you see I'm so near the end, get it straight, friend - don't ask me, don't ask me, don't ask me.
