I don't know why I'm even living here
   There's friction down on the street
   Science fiction takin' place all around
   Read all about it
   The news is on the hour and every hour
   There's trouble under my bed
   It's all around me 'cause it's going on inside my head
  
   I'm changing my station, turning the dial on my radio
   Tune to some silence, changing my style right now
  
   All the people downtown staring down at the ground
   Don't see the Gift Horse
   In the eye of the storm, in the peace of the dawn
   You'll see a gift horse
   And it's waiting inside, waiting inside...
   Don't look a gift horse
  
   I won't be in today and furthermore
   Please take a letter, Miss Jane
   Address it to the seeker somewhere in my brain
   I read the writing on the subway wall
   Where angels fear to tread
   Reaching out, seeking out, finding a brick wall head
  
   I'm changing my station, turning the dial on my radio
   Tune to some silence, changing my style right now
  
   All the people downtown staring down at the ground
   Don't see the Gift Horse
   In the eye of the storm, in the peace of the dawn
   You'll see a gift horse
   And it's waiting inside, waiting inside...
   Don't look a gift horse
  
   Changing my station, turning the dial on my radio
   Tune to some silence, changing my style right now
  
   All the people downtown staring down at the ground
   Don't see the Gift Horse
   In the eye of the storm, in the peace of the dawn
   You'll see a gift horse
   And it's waiting inside, waiting inside...
   Gift horse
