[Intro]
Carve another notch
In my cardboard watch
[Verse 1]
Can't reach my mind
And where I'm at is hard to find
Funny men say
"Get on this couch and talk away"
[Refrain]
What can I do?
Oh, what can I say?
[Verse 2]
I'm upside down
My world is going 'round and 'round
It's like a dream
Where things are not all as they seem
[Refrain]
What can I do?
Oh, what can I say?
[Bridge]
Playing games in the park at midnight
Trees of yellow and grass of up-white
Carve another notch
In my cardboard watch
[Verse 1]
Can't reach my mind
And where I'm at is hard to find
Funny men say
"Get on this couch and talk away"
[Refrain]
What can I do?
Oh, what can I say?
[Bridge]
Playing games in the park at midnight
Trees of yellow and grass of up-white
Carve another notch
In my cardboard watch
[Outro]
Building up a dream (Building up a dream)
From nothing in my mind (Nothing in my mind)
The struggle is extreme (Struggle is extreme)
Building up a dream (Building up a dream)
Am I getting old? (Am I getting old?)
Better take it inside (Better take it in)
Better come and go (Better come and go)
Leaving no sign (Leaving no sign)
Building up a dream (Building up a dream)
From nothing in my mind (Nothing in my mind)
The struggle is extreme (Struggle is extreme)
Building up a dream (Building up a dream)
Am I getting old? (Am I getting old?)
Better take it inside (Better take it in)
Better come and go (Better come and go)
Leaving no sign
