2. Everything Is Round
Enough Is Too Much
some people want a lot of money
some people want to break the bank
some people want to take over the world
so they can drive it around in a tank
some people want all the answers
laid out like a plate of food
some people want you to speak your mind
but when you do they say you’re just being rude
and it’s so confusing, I think I’m losing my mind
you go crazy if you think about it all the time
it’s so confusing, I think I’m losing my touch
and all I really want to know is when enough is too much
some people want to do battle
some people want to stay home
some people are frightened of the 6 o’clock news
when it bothers their comfort zone
some people live in the city of life
and some in the land of the dead
some people travel all over the world
but they never get out of their head
and it’s so confusing, I think I’m losing my mind
you go crazy if you think about it all the time
it’s so confusing, I think I’m losing my touch
and all I really want to know is when enough is too much
if I could tell you I would let you know
if I could tell you I would spread it around
if I could tell you I would let you know
I wouldn’t let you down
some people say they’re your enemy
and some people say they’re your friend
some people say that they’ll love you forever
then you never see them again
some people wear their hearts on their sleeves
and some people use their shoes
it’s hard to live in an alien nation
when all you can sing is the blues
and it’s so confusing, I think I’m losing my mind
you go crazy if you think about it all the time
it’s so confusing, I think I’m losing my touch
and all I really want to know is when enough is too much
if I could tell you I would let you know
if I could tell you I would spread it around
if I could tell you I would let you know
I wouldn’t let you down

Everything Is Round
the sun goes up and the sun goes down
and all the many planets out spinning around
hangin’ on to a little green piece of ground
everything is round
all around the lost and found
tubular bells they make a tubular sound
and the rollin’ balls go rollin’ around
everything is round
you can fantasize a straight line
you can try it if you may
but I guarantee that straight line
is gonna turn around some day
there’s a crazy man beatin’ on a big skin drum
and everybody waitin’ for the kingdom come
while every other kingdom just comes undone
everything is round
starting from the mother earth
learning what a circle’s worth
returning to the place of birth
everything is round
you can calculate the answer
but if space and time are truly curved
then there are no squares out there
if god could speak he’d have to say
forget about the judgment day
there’s no straight and narrow anyway
everything is round
a convoluted evolution
revolving every revolution
everything is round
