The Mountain - Hoodoo Gurus

Love it or leave it

The choices are few

Where is the magic?

(wave your wand 'til your dreams come true)

I’m high on illusion

Like a fool who is truly in love

Whose act of suspension

Only proves there are wires above

Now you can see the ways things are

You can’t pretend you’re blind

Without a change of mind

You can’t have a change of heart

Give me a reason

Or give me a rhyme

One man’s high treason

Is another’s victimless crime

We say we want justice

To blind and binding on all

But nobody wants it (to be)

On their heads where the sword must fall

Why is everybody laughing at me?

Why is everybody happy but me?

I wait for a mountain

That won’t ever come

I feel just like Mohammed

(and perhaps a little bit dumb)

Others go climb it-

Ask them why, they reply «'cause it’s there!»

But me and my mountain

We’re not getting, getting nowhere

Why is everybody laughing at me?

Why is everybody happy but me?

While I was standing here

I got this wild idea

I thought everyone was laughing at me

Now you see the way things are

You can’t pretend you’re blind

You can’t have a change of heart

Without a change of mind

Now you see the way things are

You can’t pretend

Pretend that you’re blind

Stop talking, start walking!

Do something more than moving your mouth
