Fine man, crazy man, he can't see
Sound of the sunset, sound of the sea
Why do the people always look at me?
Nobody here can see that we are you
We are you
She's him, too
She's him, too
Fine man, crazy man, he can't see
Sound of the sunset, sound of the sea
Mmmmmmmmm
Mmmmmmmmm

Solid brass statuary guards the door
Used to come as one, now it comes as four
Somebody here just sent for more
Red and yellow cartoons saying we need two
We need two
More than you
More than you
Solid brass statuary guards the door
Used to come as one, now it comes as four
Mmmmmmmmm
Mmmmmmmmm

Somebody stole their mind
Somebody stole their mind
They say they can't find
What is kind
What is kind

[Instrumental]

Somebody stole their mind
Somebody stole their mind
They say they can't find
What is kind
What is kind

Fine man, crazy man, he can't see
Sound of the sunset, sound of the sea
Why do the people walk away from me?
Nobody here wants to see that we are you
We are you
She's him, too
She's him, too
Fine man, crazy man, he can't see
Sound of the sunset, sound of the sea
Mmmmmmmmm
Mmmmmmmmm

Sound of the sunset, sound of the sea
Mmmmmmmmm
Mmmmmmmmm
(I'm dying, I'm dying...)
