Oasis

Al Jarreau

How many times have you heard, how many
Times did you say
"I think I'm going
Crazy! You're driving me out
Of my mind!"?
We know it's just an
Expression, a silly little
Phrase.
Not the doorbell, not a
Bird call.
Koo Koo.

How do you drive someone
Crazy?
To where?
In what kind of car?
Maybe we find a road
Map.
I'm sure it's not very
Far.
We know it's not so
Serious.
We take it all in fun.
Answer the ding dong, do
You play ping pong?
Could you?

Trying to get your
Attention.
Did someone say earth's
Calling you?
Don't say it, don't ever
Mention, you're hearing
More voices than two.
Roasted or raw
Delicious!
Freeze dried or salted
Divine!
Was that a
Are you a
Are you?

Storms have rearranged
The sand millions of
Years up til now.
Crusaders on a never
Ending search die for a
Never ending thirst.
What a fine
Performance, oasis!
Well worth the standing
Ovation.
Not a mirage.
Not camouflage to you.
