Advice from a Caterpillar

Oooooh whoo
Who are you

Who are you

A tenant, I don't suppose you are the super

Who are you

Who are you

Apartment 8A, as in Alice
Look I can't seem to find a service elevator
But I'm hoping that whatever comes down must go up

Who are you

Who are you? are you

Identity is a tricky, tricky business
You think you are somebody 'til suddenly you're not
You're not your name and you're not your address
'Cause the you who you remember is who you forgot

Heed this a advice from a... a caterpillar
I know a thing or two of metamorphosis
Fool's paradise is you standing stiller
While the river rushing round you is the thing you miss

The way you talk sounds like a fortune cookie
Instead of how things really are

Tell us who are you

Well pardon me let's take a look and see
How the you that you been workin' workin' out so far

Life is like jazz, things
Are always changing
Just when you learn the tone is time to modulate
Razzamatazzriffs are rearanging when the
Melody is simple, then don't complicate

So who are you? You

It seems to me you only speak in riddles
And never answer me at all

The more things change, the more they stay the same
From a distance you look smaller, but you are just as tall

Tell us who are you

So who are you? I'll repeat, repeat the question

So tell us who you are

Are you prepared to tell me what you're looking for

Tell us what you are looking for

You need a clue, well then here's my suggestion?
If you can't see what's in front of you them look some more

Hear what I'm saying girl
You think we brought you here so you can sit back and relax

Be you ever so quick
With vision keen
By your eyes we are never seen
Unless per chance
It should comes to pass
You see our reflection in a looking glass

Tell you whatcha do
Every time or two
While you're passing through
From your point of view
Find out
Who are

You
