Lyrics
Still I got nowhere to go
Expressing a sense of aimlessness or lack of direction in life.
After all these tortured years
Reflecting on a period of suffering or difficulty endured over the years.
So I'll call you on the telephone
Deciding to communicate a necessary message through a phone call.
And tell you what you've got to hear
Conveying a message that may be difficult for the listener to accept.
I'll take you by your little hands
Symbolic gesture of care and guidance, possibly expressing love or support.
And show you where I've been all day
Revealing or sharing experiences of the day with someone important.
Been dreaming of a thought I had
Daydreaming about a significant or impactful idea.
I wonder if you're here to stay
Questioning the permanence or commitment of a relationship.
At the end of the cul de sac
Describing a location where a dog is continuously barking, potentially representing disturbances.
Lives a dog who barks away
Illustrating a noisy or chaotic environment that one has to navigate through.
At the end of the tunnel in my mind
Metaphorically depicting a challenging mental state or journey.
I can hear him all day
Suggesting persistent disturbances or distractions in one's thoughts.
In the zoo there's a little man
Introducing a scene in a zoo with a person performing magic for monkeys.
Doing magic for monkeys
Symbolizing the absurdity or futility of certain actions or performances.
And in the rain stands a circus clown
Depicting a clown in the rain, possibly representing someone finding joy despite challenges.
Smiling out the wrinkles wondering
Contemplating life with a sense of curiosity and amusement.
You're floating on a sea of gold
Describing a superficially enjoyable but ultimately unfulfilling experience.
Drinking up the rays of sun
Metaphorically consuming positive aspects of life but facing the reality of aging.
But really you're just getting old
Highlighting the contrast between appearances and the aging process.
And soon enough you'll be no fun
Anticipating a decline in enjoyment or satisfaction as one grows older.
So darling won't you come with me
Inviting someone to join in a positive and clear state of mind.
And join this rightful state of mind
Encouraging a shift towards a more positive and constructive mindset.
The river won't dry this easily
Asserting the resilience of one's determination or emotions.
At least not when it's mine
Claiming ownership or control over personal emotions or experiences.
At the end of the cul de sac
Reiterating the presence of a persistently barking dog, emphasizing disturbance.
Lives a dog who barks away
Emphasizing the disruptive nature of the environment in the cul de sac.
At the end of the tunnel in my mind
Revisiting the challenging mental state or journey in the tunnel of the mind.
I can hear him all day
Continuing to experience persistent disturbances or distractions in thoughts.
In the zoo there's a little man
Returning to the zoo scene with a person performing magic for monkeys.
Doing magic for monkeys
Reiterating the absurdity or futility of certain actions or performances.
And in the rain stands a circus clown
Returning to the clown in the rain, emphasizing resilience and joy despite challenges.
Smiling out the wrinkles wondering
Continuing to contemplate life with a sense of curiosity and amusement.
