Watchin’ It Go

[Verse 1]
Me, it seems I'm spendin' most of my time
Spendin' ten cents while I'm makin' a dime
Tryin' to make sense out of life's mixed up rhyme
Meantime I'm watchin' it go

[Verse 2]
The butterfly spins in his little cocoon
Thinkin' of songs that he'll be singing soon
So few will listen to the butterfly's tune
Me I'm just watchin' it go

[Chorus]
Watchin' it go
Wantin' to know
Where do you go when you've been

[Verse 3]
Poor Cinderella she's bowin' her head
Tellin' some stranger what a hard life's she's led
Glass slipper's sound asleep under the bed
Sadly I'm watchin' her go

[Verse 4]
Prince Charming dressed in disarmin' disguise
Flashin' his charms as he's blindin' her eyes
Mornin' will hear ‘em say their sunshine goodbyes
Me, I've seen a few of them go

[Chorus]
Watchin' it go
Wantin' to know
Where do you go when you've been

[Verse 5]
Me, like so many, I've tried so many things
Walkin' on crutches and callin' them wings
Wonderin' who's pullin' the puppeteer strings
Me, I'm just wantin' to know

[Verse 6]
Minds too confined they keep wantin' to roam
Lookin' for a life that will leave them alone
I hear ‘em singin' now they want to go home
Knowin' they never can go

[Chorus]
Watchin' it go
Wantin' to know
Where do you go when you've been
Watchin' it go
Wantin' to know
Where do you go when you've been
