I shake my head and shiver They smile and they stab my back as they shake my hand Send out an SOS plea Come quickly, I'm marooned in Monkeyland Is there anyone there Who understands me? Anyone at all I'm idly staring at the sky Did anybody hear me sigh? A million stars are a moving sight To all you out there hearing me tonight It's just a trick of the light Yeah, it's just a trick of the light I have to know what is real And what is illusion Oh, how does it feel Beyond this confusion? Is there anyone there? Do I dismiss this with a sigh? Oh yes, you must from time to time And let the answers pass me by More questions set to bend the mind Is my creator a God or a man? Yes, yours too Does someone somewhere care and understand? It's just a trick of the light Yeah, it's just a trick of the light I have to know what is real And what is illusion Tell me how does it feel Beyond this confusion? For all the tricks of the light Yeah, for all the tricks of the light out there tonight Tonight I have to know what is real And what is illusion Oh, how does it feel Beyond this confusion? Is there anyone there? Life's an optical illusion Like other optical illusions Oh, beware Oh, beware
