Teacher Lyrics

Well the dawn was coming. Heard him ringing on my bell.
He said, "My name's a teacher, or that is what I call myself,
And I have a lesson that I must impart to you.
It's an old expression, but I must insist it's true:

Jump up, look around, find yourself some fun;
No sense in sitting there healing everyone.
No man's an island and his castle isn't home.
The nest is for nothing when the bird has flown."

So I took a journey through my world into the sea.
Will beware the teacher, who found fun instead of me.

Hey man, what's your plan, what was that you said?
Suntan, drinking head, lying there in bed.
I tried to socialize but I can't seem to find
What I was looking for. Got something on my mind.

Then the teacher told me it had been a lot of fun,
Thanked me for his ticket and all that I had done.

Hey man, what's your plan, what was that you said?
Suntan, drinking head, lying there in bed.
I tried to socialize but I can't seem to find
What I was looking for. Got something on my mind.
