Heard a song the other day   About a major out in space   And though the song was kind of grey   It took me far away    Heard the news the other day   About a sailor oh so gay   And though his policies were grey   They took me far away   'Cause I couldn't stand the thought   Of being taken in again       Have you seen my life, Mr. Groan?   Do you know what it's like to be outside?   All you have to do is smile to cause a landslide   And you do, and you do, Mr. Groan       Heard a song just yesterday   About a man who sold the world away   And though the song was still quite grey   It took me far away   'Cause I couldn't stand the thought   Of being taken in again       Have you seen my life, Mr. Groan?   Do you know what it's like to be outside?   All you have to do is smile to cause a landslide   And you do, and you do, Mr. Groan
