I've been trying so hard thinking what I should do
Been looking at mirrors searching for clues
But it's too long now that I've been thinking of you
And it's too long now I've been stirring this stew
And I don't know why it is that I would never belong
Oh lord I've been conscious too long
Well I've seen the psychiatrists squinting their eyes
And I lied to the shrinks about when I was a child
And I've seen the magicians sweat on their cards
I could be one of them if only I tried
And I don't know why it is that I would never belong
Oh lord I've been conscious too long
Went down too many roads made too many bad turns
I could'a been somewhere if only I'd stayed
Read too many books, learned too many words
I sure know the difference between a fish and a bird
But I don't know why it is that I am always alone
Oh lord I been conscious too long
Well the dolphins they click and the pigeons they coo
And the lions they roar and the cattle they moo
And the rooster says cock-a-doodle-doo
And the pigs and the chickens they just give you the flu
And me I'm still stuck on this old crooked song
Oh lord I've been conscious too long
