It's been a while
Can't remember why I waited so long
Maybe the tide's wrong
Always in line to get to the breakers,
Tend to the dugong
Then I wonder why I get what I ask for
I thread through the blue
Kinda like a wire coils in a straight line
I'm on a fixed route
Always obliged, I aim for the shoreline
The way you're supposed to
Then I wonder why I get what I ask for
Then I wonder why I get what I ask for
The train home never runs off course
Then I wonder why I get what I ask for
You set sail for the farthest port
Then I wonder why I get what I ask for
A stroll over the tape transport
Then I wonder why I get what I ask for
An age-old au revoir is born
