All the sharks that come around for the rip-off
And all at once the room begins to thunder
The plastic princess hangs her head in wonder
At the silver glittered boys, trying, trying to compete
'Cause you can see none of them have ever paid their dues
And all that's left is the stain on the sheet
Looking at the sky
All the heads of state are busy playing cat and mouse
She's so real that life itself bows down before her
And I'm wondering, why, why, why, why?
She couldn't make that nine to five
The prostitute is standing on the corner
Suffering so much pain to stay alive
The president is crying, crying in the White House
Then you would know what it is I am getting at
Your old man's headed for the final pay-off
Wondering, why?
By the way, you left without your hat
Looking at the sky
Wondering why, why?
You can't see that snowball as it hurtles
If I could talk to you for just one minute
I'm walking in the wind
Are gonna tear the flesh right off you
I'm walking in the wind
The joker you've got is fading too
Looking at the sky
The prime minister's really got the blues
Through the shattered membranes of your mind
Hanging on a breeze
I'm walking in the wind
Hanging on a breeze
But there again your head's got nothing in it
Hanging on a breeze
