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
