| You can’t see the forest for the branches
|
| You can’t see the ocean from the bottom of the wave
|
| You can’t see the glory from the trenches
|
| You can’t see tomorrow from today
|
| I can’t tell the hour from the minute
|
| I can’t tell the weekend from the middle of the week
|
| It’s sure hard to see it when you’re way down in it
|
| It’s sure hard to beat it when it makes you feel a little weak
|
| It’s hard to see the surface, from the bottom
|
| It’s hard to know your purpose, ain’t it true
|
| Some folks say to smoke 'em, if you got 'em
|
| Dammit if you don’t, damned if you do
|
| I always try to see the thistle for the flower
|
| I try to see the shower as a break from the heat
|
| I try to whistle straight through the sour
|
| Yeah, the pill tastes bitter but I’ll tell you that it tastes sweet
|
| It’s hard to see the surface, from the bottom
|
| It’s hard to know your purpose, ain’t it true
|
| Some folks say to smoke 'em, if you got 'em
|
| Dammit if you don’t, damned if you do
|
| It’s hard to keep a secret but not to tell a lie
|
| It’s hard to believe it when you’re barely getting by
|
| It’s hard to know the answer when the question’s never said
|
| It’s hard to be a dancer baby when you’re living in your head
|
| Now you can’t see the future and you can’t keep the past
|
| All the winners are just lucky losers baby yeah nothing ever lasts
|
| It’s hard to see the surface, from the bottom
|
| It’s hard to know your purpose, ain’t it true
|
| Some folks say to smoke 'em, if you got 'em
|
| Dammit if you don’t, damned if you do
|
| It’s hard to see the surface, from the bottom
|
| It’s hard to know your purpose, ain’t it true
|
| Some folks say to smoke 'em, if you got 'em
|
| Dammit if you don’t, damned if you do
|
| Damned if you do |
