[Verse 1]
Hey, man, don't look so scared
You know I'm only testing you out
Hey man, don't look so angry
You're real close to figuring me out
We are a part of a circle, it's like a Mobius strip
And it goes 'round and 'round until it loses a link
[Chorus]
And there's a shadow in the sky and it looks like rain, oh, oh
And shit is gonna fly once again
[Verse 2]
Hey, man, we look at each other with ample eyes
And why not some time to discover what's behind your eyes?
And I've got so many questions that I want to ask you
I am so tired of mirrors - pour me a glass of your wine
[Chorus]
And there's a shadow in the sky and it looks like rain, oh, oh
And shit is gonna fly once again
[Bridge]
I've got a bunch of government cheques at my door
Each morning I try to send them back, but they only send me more
I look at myself in the mirror
Am I vital today?
Hey, man, I let my conscience get in the way
[Chorus]
And there's a shadow in the sky, but it looks like rain, oh, oh
And shit is gonna fly once again, oh
And I don't mean to rain on your parade
But pathos has got me once again, oh
[Outro]
And I don't want ambivalence
No, I don't want ambivalence no more, no
No, I don't want ambivalence
No, I don't want ambivalence no more, hey
I said I don't want ambivalence
No, I don't want ambivalence no more, no more
I said I don't want ambivalence
No, I don't want ambivalence no more, no more
Hey, man, don't look so scared
You know I'm only testing you out
Hey man, don't look so angry
You're real close to figuring me out
We are a part of a circle, it's like a Mobius strip
And it goes 'round and 'round until it loses a link
[Chorus]
And there's a shadow in the sky and it looks like rain, oh, oh
And shit is gonna fly once again
[Verse 2]
Hey, man, we look at each other with ample eyes
And why not some time to discover what's behind your eyes?
And I've got so many questions that I want to ask you
I am so tired of mirrors - pour me a glass of your wine
[Chorus]
And there's a shadow in the sky and it looks like rain, oh, oh
And shit is gonna fly once again
[Bridge]
I've got a bunch of government cheques at my door

And there's a shadow in the sky, but it looks like rain, oh, oh
And shit is gonna fly once again, oh

[Outro]
And I don't want ambivalence
No, I don't want ambivalence no more, no
No, I don't want ambivalence
No, I don't want ambivalence no more, hey
I said I don't want ambivalence
No, I don't want ambivalence no more, no more
I said I don't want ambivalence
No, I don't want ambivalence no more, no more
