[Verse 1]
He's a blind man, crouching by the pavement
Only seeing with his third eye
And clutching at the astral shadows
Of every passer-by
[Verse 2]
He's a wise man, trumping all the answers;
She's a wild girl, trying to keep his feet on the floor
In whispered physical litanies:
"Stay away from the door"
[Verse 3]
"Oh, but we're all in this together", he says
"Three-legged race across the floor;
If only you'd loosen the handkerchief
Then I'd forget the door"
[Verse 4]
"Ooh, that feels so much better", he says
"Now you forget everything that I've said before
And sit there all by yourself
While I walk through the door"
They're a blind man, crouching by the pavement
Only seeing with his third eye
And clutching at the astral shadows
Of the door of a room called 'I'
[Instrumental Outro]
