It's easy sometimes when you just coast along   But like it or not something always seems to go wrong   Sometimes people build you up just so they can knock you down   Sometimes they will have you there 'cause they need someone around      Perhaps you'll receive invitations for tea   Perhaps you'll laugh and make them all smile   Or maybe you'll join them 'cause it had to be   Perhaps you'll forget you forgot for awhile      Birds of a feather are flocking outside   Like whippets they dance in a curly-queue dance   Of pulses and ringing and campfire chants   Of ritual drumming although at first glance   You thought you could run but you won't take a chance      It's not an experience if they can't bring someone along   They hang on emotions they bottle inside   They peck at the ground   And strut out of stride
