Nonsense

[Silence]
[Instrumental Intro: Piano, Deep Sub-Bass Synth, Acoustic Guitar, Organ, Tribal Percussion, Electric Guitar, Drum Fills]

[Intro]
Maybe yes
(Maybe no)
Perhaps neither
(Or even either?)

Round and round
The arguments go
Everyone’s certain
(But do they know?)

[Verse 1]
There’s a line in the middle
(Where nobody stands)
One foot in reason
(One foot in the sands)

You can balance forever
(And call it a stance)
But sooner or later
(You still gotta dance)

[Refrain]
No, not on the fence
(Nonsense)
Consider the scope
(Walking a tightrope)
When after all…
(You fall)

[Verse 2]
The bigger the picture
The smaller the claim
The more that you measure
The harder the game

One little number
Can tell you a lot
But one little number
(Is all that you’ve got?)

[Refrain]
No, not on the fence
(Nonsense)
Consider the scope
(Walking a tightrope)
When after all…
(You fall)
[Bridge]

Left!
(Right!)

Dark!
(Light!)

Up!
(Down!)

In!
(Out!)

What are we talking about?

Near!
(Far!)

Oh, dear…
(Bizarre)

[Break]
On the fence?
(Circumstance stance)

Tightrope?
(Nope.)

Scope?
(Wide!)

Decide.

[Instrumental]
[Quirky guitar]
[Staccato piano]
[Building rhythm]

[Final Chorus]
No, not on the fence
(Nonsense)
Consider the scope
(Walking a tightrope)
When after all…
(You fall)

Go look!
(Go learn!)
Go ask!
(Go turn!)

[Outro]

Maybe yes…

(Maybe no…)

But if you’re going to balance…

(Watch where you go!)

No nonsense.
