Lyrics
:
Reason number 1 I used to wonder why that when it's black there is no light And why when it is day that there is never any night I got talking to a soldier and he tried to set me right He said,"if you want peace then you will always have to fight" Hey! Reason number 9 Now I went searching in the desert where it just began to rain And I met up with a drunken bum who said he'd "lost his name" He said, "I put it in this bottle and it drifted out to sea". Well, I said, "there is no water here" and he walked away from me Well then I asked for help from a very clever man He kept looking down at his figures he was a very busy man But I told him what the problem was he said, " that's very sad" When I said "Is that all" he said "There's nothing I can add". Now my throat was getting dry I was feeling kinda rough But I just kept on searching 'till i'd just about had enough When I came across a doctor he said, "his cure was the best" Well he diagnosed my troubles but I didn't get the rest Reason 29 I was really kind of puzzled by the things that had been said All the people that I met started spinning around my head Well I gave it up for lost and it suddenly was clear That the only reason you are there is 'cos I'm over here. Hey (Keep on searching)
