That's when the trouble came

The trouble came when argo stepped out of line

And he was right past his place

Reuniting his left foot with his right

And he walked out past our rush hour traffic

Just as far as the city's grid

Just as far as you think you can imagine

Argo resigned

Because he was much like that

Used car-salesman of theory and novelties

With his eye, with his water tanks

And talking pictures

Argo watched the days roll over

Argo watched the days roll over

We set our watches and we followed

Half-listening to the anvil chorus

Then Argo resigned

And returned to zero

And that response became automatic

And that response became automatic

Argo watched the days roll over (from day to night)

"I like to watch" (from day to night)

Said Argo with the x-ray eye

Then Argo returned to zero

And that response became automatic

Because he was much like that used

Car-salesman of theory and novelties

Having wonderful reversals and schemes

Much like the weather

Pulling words out like a rabbit in language

With his eye with his water tanks

And talking pictures

Argo returned to zero and that

That response became automatic

In the air making figure eights with his fourth finger

With his eye, he held a constant boxing match

With his subconscious, with his subconscious

Making figure eights, and that response became automatic

Argo watched the days roll over (from day to night)

"I like to watch" (from day to night)

Said Argo with the x-ray eye

And that response became automatic

And that response became automatic

And that response became automatic

Then Argo returned to zero

From day to night

Argo watched the days roll over

From day to night

Argo watched the days roll over

From day to night

Argo watched the days roll over

From day to night

Argo watched the days roll over
