Utterly Simple Songtext

von Traffic

Everything really is stupidly simple
And yet all around is utter confusion
Fairy tales written, they help you to see it
Do you understand about Lewis's Alice
We fit all our lives into regular patterns
All that we really know is that we're really living

(Spoken)
The man that seeks the world,
His wisdom seeks to know his mind
And knowing where his feet should walk
And when he should or should not talk
And have a friend to find.
Don't look around to find the sound
That's right beneath your feet ...

The hermit sits inside his cage
And seeks to know his mind
Staring into empty space
And seeing things in people's faces
Others cannot find
Don't look around to find the sound
That's right beneath your feet ...

You've nothing to hide
So why try to hide it
I know there are some
But they're screwed up inside ...
If you need a reason
For all this I'm singing
It's simpleness really
That gives it its meaning
