Closed Circuits

Well I know who you are, baby

I've seen you go into that meditative state

You're the snake charmer, baby

And you're also the snake

You're a closed circuit, baby

You've got the answers in the palms of your hands

Well I saw a blind Judge

And he said: I know who you are

And I said: Who?

And he said: You're a closed circuit, baby

He said: The world is divided into two kinds of things

There's luck, and there's the law

There's a knock on wood that says: IT MIGHT

And there's the long arm of the law that says: IT'S RIGHT

And it's a tricky balancing act between the two because both are equally true

'Cause might makes right

And anything could happen. Che sarà sarà. Am I right?

Who? Do. Who? do

Who do you love?

Well I saw a couple of hula dancers just hula-ing down the street

And they said: Well I wonder which way the tide is gonna roll tonight?

And I said: Hey hold up hula dancers! You know the tide's gonna roll out

And then it's gonna roll right back in again

'Cause it's a closed circuit, baby. We got rules for that kind of thing

And you know the moon is so bright tonight

Who? Do. Who? Do

And don't think I haven't seen all those blind A-rabs around. I've seen 'em around

And I've watched them charm that oil right out of the ground

Long black streams of that dark electric light

And they said: One day the sun went down and it went way down, into the ground

And three thousand years go by and we pump it right back up again

'Cause it's a closed circuit, baby

We can change the dark into the light and vice versa

Well I know who you are, baby

I've watched you count yourself to sleep

You're the shepherd, baby

And you're also one, two, three hundred sheep. I've watched you fall asleep

Well I was up real late last night

Must have just dropped off to sleep

'Cause I saw you were crying, baby

You were crying in your sleep

You're the snake charmer, baby. And you're also a very long snake

You're a closed circuit, baby

You've got the answers in the palms of your hands
