Careering

I don't know, can't you see
I'm just passing through, fast as you
Don't ask me

Careering out of control, disappearing down the black hole
Careering - the white man's soul
Stands stark naked in the floodlight glare, stands stark raving on the strap
I've had the feeling that I've been there but I can't quite believe it

I don't know, can't you see
I'm just passing through, fast as you
So don't ask me

Careering, simply day to day, engineering everything I say
Careering for the work and the pay
I'm just a passenger passing through, I'm just an average chap
If I said I hadn't got a clue there'd still come the questions

I don't know, can't you see
I'm just another case of wasted space
So don't ask me

Careering, my apprenticeship no nearer than my pension slip
Careering down the Cresta Run
I screw it up just like anyone
Careering - pointless anyway to do it just for the work and the pay

Look here: I don't know, can't you see
I'm so near the end, get it straight, friend
Don't ask me, don't ask me, don't ask me
