The mystery of the quotient All will be revealed To you I give this tune Back to schoolin' I'm gonna join the band When the guitars play Wonders what it's all about Sounds caressed my ear Sitting round singing songs To build a dream Are we rolling? Secrets of the sorcerer They carry news that must get through How the west was won If you can clarify, please do Mama it ain't no sin Love some other man too Steal away Lots of people talkin', few of them know It's not as hard as it seems The story was quite clear And it makes me wonder I got something I think you oughta know These things are clear to all Presence Thinking how it used to be But in the long run.
