Oh the idol, Oh the idol 

They knew the monster's every trick 
They knew his secrets every stitch 
All of it had been a game 
Nothing but a charlatan 
Perhaps there was a chance of coming through 
It even seemed that he might think it too 
But he could see no point in diving in 
He knew that he would neither sink nor swim 

And so they found he'd nothing left to say 
Just another idol turned to clay 

It seemed to them he must know what to do 
They knew that only he could pull them through 
They thought that he would make a plan 
He'd work it out, he'd understand 
Like drowning men they clutched at every straw 
They knew that he had saved them all before 
But he could see no point in diving in 
He knew that he would neither sink nor swim
