I shake my head and shiver   They smile   And then stab my back as they shake my hand   Send out an SOS plea   Come quickly   I'm marooned in monkeyland.    Is there anyone there   Who understands me   Anyone at all      I'm idly staring at the sky   Did anybody hear me sigh   A million stars are a moving sight   To all you out there   Reading this tonight   It's just a trick of the light      I have to know what is real   And what is illusion   Tell me how does it feel    Beyond this confusion   Is there anyone there      Do I dismiss this with a sigh   Suppose I must from time to time   And let the answers pass me by   To questions set to bend the mind   Is my creator a God or a man?   (Yes, yours too)   Does someone somewhere   Care or understand   It's just a trick of the light      I have to know what is real   And what is illusion   Tell me how does it feel    Beyond this confusion   Is there anyone there      Life's an optical illusion   Like other optical illusions   Beware   If there's anyone there
