I sit down in the Underground trying to be gay   see the wild grass turn just into hay   I see the magic movement but they don't fly away   bad karma and it ricochets my eye   bad karma round me   the asp and the ashed and the infant of flame   Murgatroyd and Doris and the leper-leaping lame   the sad and the giggly and the black-suit swain   I see your face and know you      Easy as lightning I've laughed in the leaves   and I'd feel like Ali Baba when he quit the forty thieves   I can cruel no more so you cause me to grieve   I see your face and know you   I don't dig hating and I don't like to try   but how can I love you when you want me to die   oh Lord, live and learn   I see your face and know you      I wish I was springtime green as the snow   I'd sprinkle me with growing dust green for to grow   I'd leave here running 'cause walking's too slow   I see your face and know you   oh watch how the light comes new each day   if you learn how to wonder you will know how to pray   oh Lord, live and learn   I see your face and know you.
