I don't know, can't you see
I'm just passing through, fast as you
don't as me.
Careering out of control
disappearing down the Black Hole,
careering - the white man's soul.
Stands stark naked in the floodlight glare,
stands stark raving on the strap...
I've had the feeling the I've been there
but I can't quite believe it.
I don't know, can't you see
I'm just passing through, fast as you
so don't as me.

Careering, simply day to day,
engineering everything I say.
Careering for the work and the pay.
I'm just a passenger passing through.
I'm just an average chap.
If I said I hadn't got a clue
there'd still come the questions.
I don't know, can't you see
I'm just another case of wasted space
so don't ask me.

Careering, my apprenticeship no waves
than my pension slip;
Careering down the Cresta Run,
I screw it up just like anyone.
Careering - pointless anyway
to do it just for the work and the pay....

Look here: I don't know, can't you see
I'm so near the end, get it straight, friend -
don't ask me,
don't ask me,
don't ask me.
