Wise girl, blind man, see if you can walk the line,
Hold tight to my hand,
Straight ahead; you're doing fine,
Old feet, new dance, rhythm of another kind,
It's alright to tremble; everybody sways,
And Heaven knows it's hard to walk my way,
Beat peculiar.
It's strange...it's strange and it's wonderful,
And always worked this way 'cause it's hard to walk my way,
Now isn't that a wonderful groove?
Vengeance is so wrong,
Drop the gun, forgive the girl,
My love is so strong,
Mercy is the silver pearl,
Old heart, new song, virtues of another world,
Just don't look down,
Heaven knows the planet spins around, spins around,
Beat peculiar.
And it's strange...it's strange and it's wonderful,
Better not be looking down when your planet spins around,
Isn't that a strange tambourine?
