You're just down inside yourself
Driving down the middle of the road
And he just decides that he can't go home
Run a mile, take a shower
Help me shake this nightmare
But I can't find the missing part
You're just down inside yourself
To see the wise man
Well anyway, he climbs the mountain
Hey, the cure is very simple
The blues were strong because they're true
In the middle of the night
But now I think that's nonsense and I've got news for you
And when they come to get you, there's nothing you can do
Where he gets on a train to go to the mountain
He's in the middle of his mid-life crisis
You know the one
Hey, your problem ain't philosophy
And times when you were strong
So he turns the car around and he drives to the airport
And the wise man says, "Ah, I used to think
In a logical disguise
The one with the answer for that hole in his heart
When a gray sky comes along
But he had some questions
It's like you've never seen the sunshine
He's no dummy, he knows he was coming
It's no deep or evil power
And the middle-aged man, he'd heard some, you know
Like your happiness was wrong
Get some sleep, eat some broccoli
The funk has found my heart
There's times when you've been hopeful
And he sees the wise man come out of the village to greet him
You don't have to be so wise
When he was interrupted again
Right now it's physiological
I need to fill this empty
Now you say that's foolish
So get it down to size
Well, never mind the questions now
Where he makes connections for India
He flies to New York City where he makes connections for London
And he was just about to speak
And he musters up all his fear and anguish
I need to move my spirit
You're just down inside yourself"
I'm just down inside myself
But the blues is not your final judgment
And he says
But I don't know where to start
You're just down inside yourself
And it works in half an hour
