People talk in mysterious ways
They can't bring you down, but they can pick you back up again
People walk in mysterious places
They hide when they're lonely, but they're never alone anyway
A wave, away, begin to carry me alive
A wave, away, begin to turn me on a dime
And it's gonna take me into every other time
And it's gonna take me out to show me woe is mine
Because I never go there, the children wait around
Having broken into pieces the old crowd
People think in mysterious ways
They long for tomorrow, but it's never enough today
People count all the time that it takes
To get where you want, but you can't go anywhere anyway
A wave, away, begin to carry me alive
A wave, away, begin to break me for awhile
'Cause I can't anymore reason
To flourish my sins
When anyone can see that it's all over now
It's gonna take just a little more time
I'll hang around, but I won't wait on line again
They can find, but they'll never replace
Nor can they explain all the mistakes that they've made... again
And it's gonna take me in like every other child
And it's gonna take me out to show me woe is mine
But I don't go there anymore (I don't know them)
No, I don't know them anymore (I don't know them)
I don't know them anymore (I don't know them)
