It's a strange arrangement I don't claim to understand it I know I created it But I never planned it
It's a strange arrangement And I'm not proud Well perhaps a little ashamed If ashamed is allowed
At the death of the year In a crucial hour I exchanged the power of love For the love of power The invisible captain Must be laughing out loud I feel as if I'm wrapped inside a Cloud within a cloud
It's a strange arrangement
And it's fascinating to see Which way the worm turns Especially when the worm is me
Runaway child I wish you were here The weather is uncommonly mild For this time of year But it's no cause for pity And it's no reason to weep Worse things can befall a man when he's In his bed counting sheep
It's a strange arrangement An accommodation deluxe I'll send you a postcard When I've had enough
