Everybody's talkin' at me

I don't hear a word they're sayin'

Only the echoes of my mind

People stop, starin' at me

I don't even see their faces

Only the shadow of their eyes

Going where the sun keeps a-shinin'

Through the pourin' rain

Goin' where the weather suits my clothes

Bankin' off the northeast wind

Sailin' on a summer breeze

Skippin' over the ocean like a stone

Why, why, why, why?

Why, why, why, why?

I said, everybody keeps talkin' at me

I don't hear a word they're sayin', now

Only the echoes of my mind

People stop, starin' at me

I don't even see their faces

Only the shadow of their eyes

Skippin', skippin', skippin', skip, skip

Over the ocean like a stone

I said, why, why, why?

Why, why?
