Looked at my window for Robinson Crusoe   All I can see is Daniel Defoe   Everyone movin' in different directions   I don't know which way I can go, tell me      Now I like the blues and I like cathedrals   I like the ladies' hands on my knee   I don't care what you think of my music   I sure care a lot what you think about me      Meanwhile, the man inside me rages   He's tryin' to be free, you know he tryin' to be released   Meanwhile, clean out your cages   The nearer you're gonna get, the closer you're gonna be      The nearer you'll get, the closer you'll be   The nearer you'll get, the closer you'll be   The nearer you get, the closer you'll be      I like the blues and I like the Beatles   I like the ladies' hands on my knee   I don't care what you think of my music   I sure care a lot what you think about me      Meanwhile, the man inside me rages   He's trying to be free, you know he's tryin' to be released   Meanwhile, clean out your cages   The nearer you're gonna get, the closer you're gonna be      The nearer you'll get, the closer you'll be   The nearer you'll get, the closer you'll be   The nearer you get, the closer you'll be
