The street is very wide
And I can't see across it
My house isn't clear to me
The cars move in between


Chorus And I say: Question
When is a door not a door???
And I say: "That's not right!
Answer when it's a jar


The numbers soft as soap
And tend to bend in addition
They're much too wan for me
I'd prefer some consistancy


Chorus

The windows open wide
But I can't see out of it
The view is not very there
Some-times I look for it


Chorus
