Told the sandman not to bother me,
Cos I m so restless tonight.
Found a payphone, called myself a cab,
The city streets feel all right.
Mister Weatherman, stop lying to me,
You say sun and there s rain.
Told the doctor my head is hurting me,
Gave me pills for the pain.

And I m oblivious to all the sights and the sounds,
And I m coming round.

Hey newscaster, what s happened today?
Another famine or war?
Pretty little girl, come share the cab with me,
I m sure I ve seen her before.
Stray puppy looks to me for food,
I can t feed you tonight.
I ignored it as it limped away.
I guess it ll be all right.

And I m becoming conscious of what s going down,
And I m coming round.

Tell me stranger, do you know me?
Will you show me where to go?
Tell me newfound friend, do you love me?
You're miles above me, what a show!

Told the driver not to question me,
Not in the mood for small talk.
We sat silent, hummed to the radio,
I decided to walk.
Asked the dark clouds not to rain on me,
But they ignored my plea,
Buttoned my coat up, made a gentle jog,
It had to happen to me.

And I m the only person in this lonely town,
And I m coming round.

Tell me stranger, do you know me?
Will you show me where to go?
Tell me newfound friend, do you love me?
You're miles above me, what a show!

Mister Policeman, what s the hour please?
Just left quarter past three.
It s raining faster and getting colder,
And I can t find my key.
Front porch doormat, oh how you welcome me!
A handshake metaphor,
Hello TV. What have you got for me?
I m sure I ve seen this before.

And I m the saddest person that I know right now.
But I m coming round.

Tell me stranger, do you know me?
Will you show me where to go?
Tell me newfound friend, do you love me?
You're miles above me, what a show!
