What's The Word?
What purpose served by the tongue of a snake?
What good is an insect that shines?
What good eyesight when left in the dark
And you're being tripped up all the time?
Come on brother
What's the word?
We should not have a single care
In the world
Who is it screaming in the dead of the night?
And where are the second hand stars?
Who'll call you home with a kindly refrain
When you're lost and you've drifted too far?
Come on now brother
What's the word?
We should not have a care
In the world
Well all the birthdays they come in at once
And the money I've got is not enough
Send me a letter to say you're OK
And let's start up from where we left off
Come on now brother
What’s the word?
We should not have a care
In the world
