Spiel lyrics

[Verse 1]
A summer day and all is well
Is there peace of mind? I can't tell
Cannonballs and laser balls
Ride the sky for pride of place above me
Of course, I know it could drop like snow
And then I'd be the black sheep of the family
Ron McD loves to waterski
And waves his hand to me on the sand, he's funny
If I stopped to think, i'd surely sink above my head
Then I'd be dead

[Refrain]
I said
Wrap me up in skies of white and blue

[Verse 2]
Integrity and dignity
Lost the race for pride, of place abovе me
A girl I know has ambition to go
Up the ladder of succеss, she's lucky
Fred Bloggs here, a trained engineer
Is on the dole without a soul, he's dreary
My heart, it says it's time for bed
It thinks I may as well be dead
[Refrain]
It said
Wrap me up in skies of white and blue

[Bridge]
Wide open spaces in time
Commit serious crimes
To want to enlist
A chance not to be missed
Is at what I surpass
Doomed not to last
To live in the past
A boat without a mast

[Verse 3]
Mindlessness and spinelessness
Won the race of pride, of place above me
One good turn deserves another
He knives the back of his brother
A woman had her throat cut today
Men like that deserve to die, that's what I say
Pretentiousness and self-pity, I know
I feel a lot better now, I've said it though

[Refrain]
I say
Wrap me up in skies of white and blue
[Outro]
No, it won't be what can I [?]
But I can't see, and it makes me mad
Things can get better, but I lied there [?]
But I can't be when I lied there, [?]
