A thumbnail sketch a jeweler's stone 
A mean idea to call my own 
Old man don't lay so still you're not yet young 
There's time to teach  point to point  
Point observation children carry reservations 
Standing on the shoulders of giants leaves me cold leaves me cold. 
A mean idea to call my own a hundred million birds fly 

Singer sing me a given singer sing me a song 
Standing on the shoulders of giants everybody's looking on 
(Old man don't lay so still you're not yet young, 
There's time to teach, point to point, 
Point observation, children carry reservations). 
Standing on the shoulders of giants leaves me cold 
A mean idea to call my own, 
A hundred million birds fly away, away. 

I am king of all I see, my kingdom for a voice 
Old man don't lay so still, you're not yet young 
There's time to teach, point to point 
Point observation, children carry reservations 
Standing on the shoulders of giants leaves me cold 
A mean idea to call my own, 
A hundred million birds fly away 

Everybody hit the ground
Everybody hit the ground
