What Goes On

Lyrics

What goes on in the mind of a distant nation What goes on, what goes on, what goes on? You been gone like a bird on a long vacation You been gone, what goes on, what goes on? Once before I played the part just like a movie star Now I find it's all left behind And no one seems to care who you are In the eyes of some far-off place Where are you when I need you to stay? Won't somebody tell me, baby, what goes on? (What goes on?) (instrumental break) Ba ba ba, ba ba ba, ba ba Ba ba ba, ba ba ba, ba ba Once before I played the part just like a movie star Now I find it's all left behind And no one seems to care who you are In the eyes of some far-off place Where are you when I need you to stay? Won't somebody tell me, baby, what goes on? (What goes on?) (instrumental fade out)
