Careering (Don’t Ask Me)

Lyrics

[Chorus] I don't know, can't you see? I'm just passing through, fast as you – Don't ask me [Verse 1] Careering out of control Disappearing down the black hole Careering – the white man's soul Stands stark naked in the floodlight glare Stands stark raving on the strap I've had the feeling that I've been there But I can't quite believe it [Chorus] I don't know, can't you see? I'm just passing through, fast as you So don't ask me (Don't ask me) [Verse 2] Careering, simply day to day Engineering everything I say Careering for the work and the pay (For the work and the pay) I'm just a passenger passing through I'm just an average chap (We are normal) If I said I hadn't got a clue Well, there'd still come the questions [Chorus] I don't know, can't you see? I'm just another case of wasted space So don't ask me (Don't ask me) [Guitar Solo/Post-Chorus] (Don't ask me) No, don't ask me (Don't ask me) No, don't ask me! (Don't ask me...) [Verse 3] Careering, my apprenticeship No nearer than my pension slip; Careering down the Cresta Run I screw it up just like anyone; Careering – pointless anyway To do it just for the work and the pay (For the work and the pay) [Saxophone Solo] [Chorus] Look here: I don't know, can't you see? I'm so near the end, get it straight, friend – Don't ask me Don't ask me Just don't ask Don't ask me
