lyrics

I want to know more about this conditon
This conditon
of having no mind’s eye
Kumbayah, no mind’s eye
Auld lang syn, no mind’s eye

Can you remember when the cowboys
filled the movie screen?
Can you remember the red velvet curtain
and how it hung-ung-ung-ung-ung-ung ?
OK eeeeeeeeeeeee
eeeeeeeeeeee
How bout
a plain white screen?

Look down at your hands
Can you see them when you were small?
la la la la la
Picking raspberries pick pick pick pick pick
cherries pick pick pick pick pick
beans pick pick pick pick pick

Can you see your small hands?
Does it help when you close your eyes?
Close your eye eeyeyeyeyeyeyeye(s)

And think about
an orange
pushing your thumbs in
pulling back the peel

Can you see the segments?
orange
You must be able to see
an orange in your mind’s eye

You know
your mind stores this information
in
memory banks
memory banks
memory banks
pick pick pick pick pick

I want to know more about this conditon
This conditon
of having no mind’s eye
Kumbayah, no mind’s eye
Auld lang syn, no mind’s eye eeyeyeyeyeyeyeye

You don’t need to see an orange every time
pick pick pick pick pick
to know what an orange is
lalalalalalala lalalalalalala lalalalalalala
how it
hung-ung-ung-ung-ung-ung
from a tree

orange lalalalalalala
