(verse 1)
St. Nick don’t exist anymore
and Oz was just a lonely man
it’s so damn hard
to believe in anything again

wise is the optimist
but truth is I don’t understand
haven’t figured out much of anything

(pre-chorus)
what a strange world
strange world, strange world

(chorus)
‘round and ‘round and ‘round it goes
heroes fall like dominos
we try to help it but we won’t
all we know is that we don’t
‘round and ‘round and ‘round we go
the chips will fall and so it goes
and it’s all out of our control
all we know is that we don’t

(verse 2)
is this all there is?
preachers and rocket ships
have never quite made any sense of it
yet
Paul says “let it be”
but the other said “the test is key”
I say where’s the line
between real and fantasy?

(pre-chorus)

strange world
strange world
strange world

(chorus)
