Christopher Cross - Experiment lyrics

Under a tree where I lay with my lies Something or someone Bestowed a surprise Telling me I had no use for my eyes If I really wanted to see Walking me tall like a priest with no pope No one in lab coats and no one with dope Nobody dangling some flimsy old hope And nothing to do but to be All my baggage sent on ahead Gentleman style All I remember are people who smile Holding the world in the palm of my hand Feeling my pulse like the ba** in a band Welcoming chaos I can’t understand Hey I’m an experiment Hey I’m an experiment Hey I’m an experiment A most willing subject am I Now the abyss seems to have its allure No ground to stand on and nothing secure Why should a monkey like me feel so pure Kissing tomorrow goodbye Far from the comfort of all my despair Every wrong thought is a wisp in the air I try to worry but nothing is there I throw up my hands and I cry All I wanted falls at my feet Holy and bright All I remember is what I did right Holding the world In the palm of my hand Feeling my pulse Like the ba** in a band Finding amazement Wherever I land Hey I’m an experiment Hey I’m an experiment Hey I’m an experiment Be an experiment Hey I’m an experiment Hey I’m an experiment Hey I’m an experiment Find your experiment
