In an old house down by the beach
Lives an old man who's just out of reach
Oh, he's got nothing to lose
Some say he's a crazy old man
A refugee from a rock and roll band
Oh, he's still playing the blues
In the morning when you rise
Aren't you glad to be alive?
Oh, put on your barefoot shoes
When you dance beneath the moon rainbow
Can't you feel the afterglow?
Oh, why the things we do
Why the things we do
Why the things we do
In the driftwood house, you learn how to dream
Truth is stranger than fishin', it seems
Oh, there's no earthly rules
And the people come just to hear him say
Life's too short to live your way
Oh, who's really fooling who?
Invisible means are the key to support
Makes you a king in your own court
Oh, what have you got to lose?
Push the sadness from your heart
There's no living after dark
Oh oh, why the things we do
Why the things we do
Why the things we
Why the things we do
Why the things we do
Why the things we do
Why the things we do
In the morning when you rise
Aren't you glad to be alive
Oh, put on your barefoot shoes
When you dance beneath the moon rainbow
Can't you feel the afterglow?
Oh, that's why the things we do
That's why the things we do
That's why the things we do
That's why the things we do
