There was a dworf who lived in a tree
I could see him just like you see me
He told me secrets I never knew
Misfortune would fill him with glee
I gave him smiles, he gave me words
And said that I should hear what he said
That you and I should walk through our ears
Into darkness and enter our heads
See our thoughts like films on screen
Play back what we don't understand
Rub out words we never meant
Vanish tears with a smile of hand
What people say is said for all time
We remember that we shouldn't forget
Putting words to my beautiful mime
And confusion is all that we get
To say hello is all that's required
Dig too deep and you get in a mess
Forcing smiles with lips that are tired
If you don't know the truth then you guess
The dwarf would laugh and stand on his head
Hang upside from the tree
And said that reason should be left unsaid
Or you'll end up a dwarf like me
You'll stunt your mind and cripple your heart
Wanting to know why and what
And starts to panic when boredom starts
So just be glad to have what you've got
The tree is gone and so has the dwarf
And all that's left is a hole
But don't be fooled that he's gone far away
He's just biding his time in your soul.
