How long

With your thoughts overhead,
And your head underground,
How long?

And you're looking for an answer
But you're wearing a blindfold,
How long?

And you freeze when it's heat,
And you're burning when 'cold,
And you say you're full when hungry,
And naked when clothed,

How long?
Way too long.
Now I've heard of a treasure
That no one ever really took time to discover
Yes I've heard of a deeply buried treasure,
That no one ever really took time to discover
At all.

With your mind in the corner,
And your body up front,
How long?

And the story of your youth
It's a story of old,
How long?

And you chatter on your own,
And you're silent with folks,
And you're laughing at a sad song,
And you're crying at jokes,

How long?
Way too long.
I've heard of a treasure
That no one ever really took time to discover

Yes I've heard of a deeply buried treasure,
That no one ever really took time to discover ... At all.
