Careering (Don’t Ask Me) Peter Hammill

[Chorus]
I don't know, can't you see?
I'm just passing through, fast as you –
Don't ask me

[Verse 1]
Careering out of control
Disappearing down the black hole
Careering – the white man's soul
Stands stark naked in the floodlight glare
Stands stark raving on the strap
I've had the feeling that I've been there
But I can't quite believe it

[Chorus]
I don't know, can't you see?
I'm just passing through, fast as you
So don't ask me (Don't ask me)

[Verse 2]
Careering, simply day to day
Engineering everything I say
Careering for the work and the pay (For the work and the pay)
I'm just a passenger passing through
I'm just an average chap (We are normal)
If I said I hadn't got a clue
Well, there'd still come the questions
