Verse 1
Spread-eagled like a starfish
I’m floating on the ocean
Sharks and whales don’t hurt me
‘Cause I’m physically not there
I’m floating on the ocean
Naked without lotion
Ultraviolet rays don’t burn me
‘Cause I’m physically elsewhere
Reality and fantasy
Merge into each other
I thought I’d best explain myself
Before I go much further
Chorus
When life gets crazy
It doesn’t faze me
I’m floating on the ocean
But I’m physically not there
INSTRUMENTAL
Verse 2
I’m hanging on a cliff edge
I feel my fingers sliding
I hope to God the tide’s in
As I plummet through the air
Reality and fantasy
Blend together constantly
I’m floating on the ocean
Where I mentally repair
Chorus
When life gets crazy
It doesn’t faze me
I’m floating on the ocean
But I’m physically not there
INSTRUMENTAL
Bridge
When the knives are out to get me
First they must locate me
They can’t penetrate me
When I’m physically elsewhere
Reality and fantasy
Merge into each other
I hope I have explained myself
One way or another
Chorus
When life gets crazy
It doesn’t faze me
I’m floating on the ocean
But I’m physically not there
When life gets crazy
It doesn’t faze me
I’m floating on the ocean
Where I mentally repair
