I can never remember, who I am
Who I am, where I am, what on earth, I'm doing here
What on earth, I know

I can never remember, who I am
Who I am, where I am, what on earth, I'm doing here
What on earth, I know

What's going on out of the window now?
What's going on out of the window now?
No, no, I'm agile and everyone says that you're so fragile
What's going on out of the window now?
What's going on out of the window now?
