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
