You may have been wondering
Where I've gotten to lately lately
But I can tell you
That it's nowhere you haven't been.

And you may even ask yourself
If I'm on something you haven't tried
But it's just the world
Perhaps in a light you haven't seen.

Yeah, it's alright, babies
I tell you the world
Has not come to an end
Yeah, things have been scary
But it's only our minds
That have gone round the bend.

You may need a clear explanation
For truth that's as plain as your face
But it'll work out alright
If we can just learn to wipe the slate clean.

BRIDGE:
You
You have the sweetest eyes
And you see
You see everything under these blue skies
Now
Now you're having another thought
But it don't
It don't fit with all you've been taught
Back in public school
But you don't have to play the fool.

CHORUS:
It's coming round
Hang in there
Help is always on the way
It's coming round
Don't get crazy
Tomorrow's always another day
Please don't frown
You can bend
You don't have to break from the strain
Don't slip down
Every dog sees a brighter day
So don't miss your turn
Because here it comes again.

INSTRUMENTAL

You may see me pondering
Over what I've done lately
But you can bet
I'm not lost in a daze.

And you may even catch me out
With some new verse that I haven't tried
But it's just the words
That I devised 'round some clever phrase.

Yeah it's all these maybes
That make you feel alone
Out in the cold
Yeah, truths you can bury
But it's all of these lies
That make you feel so old.

You may need a better translation
To figure out all of the jokes
But you'll get a laugh alright
If you've caught all the latest word plays.

BRIDGE:
You
You never criticise
And you see
You see all that the truth implies
Now
Now you find you're neck deep in the lot
But it don't
It's don't look like the deal we bought
Back in beautician's school
So why you wanna play the fool?

CHORUS:
It's coming round
Hang in there
Help is always on the way
It's coming round
Don't get crazy
Tomorrow's always another day
Please don't frown
You can bend
You don't have to break from the strain
Don't slip down
Every dog sees a brighter day
So don't miss your turn
Because here it comes again.
