I shake my head and shiver
They smile and they stab my back
As they shake my hand
Send out an S.O.S. please
I'm marooned in monkeyland.

I'm idly staring at the sky
Did anybody hear me cry
A billion stars are a moving sight
To all you out there reading this tonight
It's just a trick of the light

I have to know what is real and what is illusion
Tell me how does it feel beyond this confusion?
Is there anyone there?

Do I dismiss this with a sigh?
And let the answers pass me by?
Is my creator God or a man?
Does someone somewhere care and understand?
It's just a trick of the light.

I have to know what is real and what is illusion
(Rest of chorus)

Is there anyone there?
Life's an optical illusion like other optical illusions
