Experiment - Christopher Cross

Under a tree where I lay with my lies

Something or someone

Bestowed a surprise

Telling me I had no use for my eyes

If I really wanted to see

Walking me tall like a priest with no pope

No one in lab coats and no one with dope

Nobody dangling some flimsy old hope

And nothing to do but to be

All my baggage sent on ahead

Gentleman style

All I remember are people who smile

Holding the world in the palm of my hand

Feeling my pulse like the bass in a band

Welcoming chaos I can’t understand

Hey I’m an experiment

Hey I’m an experiment

Hey I’m an experiment

A most willing subject am I

Now the abyss seems to have its allure

No ground to stand on and nothing secure

Why should a monkey like me feel so pure

Kissing tomorrow goodbye

Far from the comfort of all my despair

Every wrong thought is a wisp in the air

I try to worry but nothing is there

I throw up my hands and I cry

All I wanted falls at my feet

Holy and bright

All I remember is what I did right

Holding the world

In the palm of my hand

Feeling my pulse

Like the bass in a band

Finding amazement

Wherever I land

Hey I’m an experiment

Hey I’m an experiment

Hey I’m an experiment

Be an experiment

Hey I’m an experiment

Hey I’m an experiment

Hey I’m an experiment
