[Verse 1]
I saw a rock in the street, and I wanted to take it home
By I let it lie and passed it by, and I walked on
That rock could have been a fortune or just a worthless stone
I'll never know ’cause I didn't take it home
[Chorus]
I walked on and let the world go by
And I never felt sorry or took the time to cry
[Verse 2]
I saw a letter in the street, it didn't interest me
So, I let it fly and passed it by, I didn’t even stop to see
It could have been from my mother, a message from a friend
I'll never know 'causе I never looked within
[Chorus]
I had no feeling for lifе, and so I lived
But people simply did just what they did
[Verse 3]
I saw a man in an alley, he looked a lot like me
I thought I'd die but I passed him by, didn't even want to see
What I'd look like in years to come in an alley far from home
I couldn't believe that this could happen to me
[Chorus]
I walked on and let the world go by
And I never felt sorry 'cause I was in my time
’Til I saw in an alley where my future lay
And I’ve been tryin' to get home since that day
[Outro]
I was real hip
Now, I’m in oblivion
My kaleidoscope is gone
I'm standing in a stupor
And having fun
