May Day - Barclay James Harvest

May Day - Barclay James Harvest
The rock on which i stand is slowly sinking in the sand
The sheer realities of life are rushing by
I am looking out at life and i don't know what's wrong or right
And i can't even see the bright side of the moon
I stopped a man in the street today
And i asked him sir is it night or day
He just stared in disbelief
I asked again but he walked away
He said don't you know
I said can't you say is there something inbetween
Is it something i've not seen
Did it change so fast or was it just a dream
Time and time again i've tried to recreate the past few days
Evaluate the constants from the haze
But every time i think i'm right they say i'm wrong
This day is night and night is day
It's there in black and white
Night is light and dark is day
If i disagree they say i'm insane
And the treatment will begin
If i say that the day is light
They just point my eyes to the blinding night saying
We can't set you free if you always disagree
So the state is going to pay your doctor's fee
They put me out in the pouring rain
To enjoy the sun or to feel the pain
Of the nightmare life's become
I asked a man in the street today
Or was it yesterday or the day before
Is there something i've not seen
Is there something inbetween
Did it change so fast or was it just a dream
The rock on which i stand is now beneath the ever-flowing sand
The sheer realities are here to stay
I'm looking out at life and now i know what's wrong and right
It's what you hear and what you read and what they say
I saw a man in the street today
Ask another man is it night or day
He just stared in disbelief
He said friend it's your lucky day
I'm a party man won't you step this way
I've got something you've not seen
Now i know it's not a dream
It just came so fast that something inbetween
