reality's a dream
a game in which i seem
to never find out just what i am
i don't know if i'm an actor or ham
a shamen or sham
but if you don't mind i don't mind
i'm lost without a clue
so how can i undo
the tangle of these webs i keep weaving
i don't know if i should be believing
deceptive perceiving
but if you don't mind i don't mind
i used to bet that you didn't care
but gambling never got me anywhere
each time i used to feel so sure
something about you made me doubt you more
how can you convince me
when everything i see
just makes me feel you're putting me down
and if it's true this pathetic clown'll
keep hanging around
that's if you don't mind i don't mind
i used to bet that you didn't care
but gambling never got me anywhere
each time i used to be so sure
something about you made me doubt you more
i even think you hate me
when you call me on the phone
and sometimes when we go out
i wish i'd stayed at home
and when i'm dreaming or just lying in my bed
i think you've got it in for me
is it all in my head
is it in my head
how can you convince me
when everything i see
just makes me feel you're putting me down
and if it's true this pathetic clown'll
keep hanging around
that's if you don't mind i don't mind i don't mind
