Why are you in so such hurry?
Is it really worth the worry?
Look around, then slow down

What's it like inside the bubble?
Does your head ever give you trouble?
It's no sin, trade it in

Hang on, help is on its way
I'll be there as fast as I can
"Hang on", a tiny voice did say
From somewhere deep inside the inner man

Are you always in confusion?
Surrounded by illusion?
Sort it out, you'll make out

Seem to make a good beginning
Someone else ends up winning
Don't seem fair, don't you care?

Hang on, help is on its way
I'll be there as fast as I can
"Hang on", a tiny voice did say
From somewhere deep inside the inner man

Don't you forget who'll take care of you
It don't matter what you do
Form a duet, let him sing melody
You'll provide the harmony

Why are you in so such hurry?
Is it really worth the worry?
Look around, then slow down

What's it like inside the bubble?
Does your head ever give you trouble?
It's no sin, trade it in

Hang on, help is on its way
I'll be there as fast as I can
"Hang on", a tiny voice did say
From somewhere deep inside the inner man

Hang on, help is on its way
I'll be there as fast as I can
"Hang on", a tiny voice did say
From somewhere deep inside the inner man

Help is on its way
Help is on its way
