What Strange Beasts – Dear Maestro Lyrics

Close your eyes-tell me what do you see?
All those things that seem so beyond me
Lands so distant, and people so strange
Few more years and I'll be out of range

Who am I to be singin' the blues?
All you want is to help find my shoes
Things you say, things you see, things you know
Makes it hard just to go with the flow

Cloaks and Hoods been hangin' around
Kinda jazzed about this kid that they found
Tell me things that I wanna hear
Tell me I've got nothing to fear

And you tell me not to worry, but I still have to wonder
If you know it's gonna rain will the clouds steal your thunder
You gotta know that being in the know is no kind of foresight for free

Some old dogs can't learn new tricks (Can't learn new tricks)
Same old song with some different licks
Once you go and run with that pack (Run with that pack)
Say it's ten times as hard to come back

But the goodness in your eyes can't be easily changed
When the score you wanna settle hasn't yet been arranged
They say fake it 'til you make it
If you've got it then they'll take it from you!

Soon it's you who'll write your own song
Cut your tracks, I won't be along
Oh you'll tap your time and write your own lines
Guess you don't know what you've got...'til it's gone
