The Beta Band
"Eclipsed"


The people asking questions to the people with the answers
The people with the answers are the people with the questions
So the people with the questions ask the people with the answers
The people with the answers won't tell the people with the questions the answer

So the people with the questions, they ask the people with the answers
But the people with the answers won't speak to them
Because the people with the answers deem the people with the questions
Just a little bit too hard to try to speak to

I'm a man that likes to be alone
I'm a man that likes to be alone
I don't have to know any answers
But I've got a whole heap of questions
I've got a whole heap of questions that I won't hide from you

So long (don't smile, you get high)
So long (don't smile, you get high)
So long (don't smile, you get high)
So long (don't smile, you get high)

LyricsSo the people with the books they went and stood upon the mountain
To get away from people with no books
The people with the books they started reading on the mountain
But they couldn't see a thing 'because the sky went dark

I don't know where the cloud cover came from
I'm just sittin' here rockin' on the station
I don't want to be the type of guy
Who lives alone reading books and never eats a pizza pie

I...
don't want to be the type of person sitting alone with a book on my own

With a book on my own, with a book on my own
With a book on my own, with a book on my own
With a book on my own, with a book on my own
With a book on my own, with a book on my own

The people with the questions got together with people with the books
And left the people with the answers out
So the people with the answers start to make their way up the hill
To meet the people with the questions and the people with the books

And we all live together on a little round ball
We all sing together when the cuckoo calls
We all live together on a little round ball
We all sing together when the cuckoo calls
We all live together on a little round ball
We all sing together when the cuckoo calls

I'm not the type of person living alone
You and me live together, why, I don't know

People... people... people... people... (and so on)

Why don't you love?

I'm not sitting here giving you a lesson
So I'll just keep my mouth shut for the next few minutes

Can't keep quiet for long, I'm a human being
I can't help singing this song, I'm a human being
Can't keep quiet for long, I'm a human being
Can't help singing this song, I'm a human being

You won't listen to me
I'm not an authority

So the people with the answers met the people with the questions
And the people with the books sat down
And finally decided to sit around to talk about the problems
To see if they could help the answers to meet the questions and some questions to meet the answers

Well the leaves on the trees are green
(ok, we're agreed on that)
And the roads are not very clean
(ok, we're agreed on that)
And the food we eat is not very healthy
(ok, we're agreed on that)
And the music we make is not particularly good
(ok, we're agreed on that)
And the planets sort of revolve around the sun
(ok, we're agreed on that)
And the moon is a ball with the nothing on it and I don't think anyone's ever been there
(ok, so we're kind of agreed on that. so what are we arguing about?
well, I don't know
ok, so let's get together and smoke and eat some pizza pie)

So the people with the pizza pie
Made me very high
And the people with the questions smiled
And the people with the answers lied
They lied

So no pizza for them
