I was walking down the road just the other day -nowhere in particular
When I came across this crazy guy I’d met before
He looked at me kind of funny and then he said, “Abracadabra !
Don’t you know that I’m the one who sits inside your dreams ?” - crazy guy !

 

“Don’t go wasting my time
I know the things that you long to find
Don’t go wasting my time, cos I know”

 

Then I thought to myself, I thought just send him away - he’s so ridiculous
But something seemed to tell me I’d better lend him an ear - nothing to lose
He spoke to me in a way that made my blood turn cold - how peculiar
But I pretended that he did not affect me at all

 

I hid myself, I hid behind a lie and a smile
You’re the same, I know, when you’re talking to somebody higher
You have to run away cos he’s different to yourself
But he’s incredible, how the hell does he know what he knows ?

 

Would you believe that I stayed with him and it was like magic – Abracadabra !
I can see the world, it’s spinning on my finger now  - yes it is

I didn’t waste any time
I found the things that I had to find
I didn’t waste any time
Now I know, now I know

 

If people run away
Don’t you know you’re never gonna grow ?
There’s a state of mind blinding even in the light
Yeah, that’s right !

 

Don’t hide yourself, don’t hide behind a lie and a smile
Don’t be silly now, when you’re talking to somebody higher
Don’t have to run away cos he’s different to yourself
Cos you’re incredible, I can see that you could do what he do
I can see that you could do what he do
I can see that you could do what he do
I can see that you could do what he do

 

I was walking down the road just the other day – nowhere in particular
