Day turns to night
Then night turns to day
In the blink of an eye it’s the next year
Snowflake on my eyelash
It’s cold and I know why
I question everything

I am transfixed on the star sky above
And unlike Mars it’s the reason why I'm here
Which I am there when it doesn’t appear

Call me strange call me straight
Call me anything you like
I'm the door and I can turn
Like the seconds on the clock
It's the light it is the rain
It's the reason I'm missing
It's the riddle in my call
I'm not what you think at all
Not at all

Tip toe with diplomatic words
Am I not exposed
For my wild child supressed

Tick tock my days go
Tick tock with every passing cloud
I'd even shape an apple tree
Maybe

Call me strange call me straight
Call me anything you like
I'm the door and I can turn
Like the seconds on the clock
It's the light it is the rain
It's the reason I'm missing
It's the riddle in my call
I'm not what you think at all

Storybooks and dark angels sing
These blurry shapes in my magic land

Call me strange call me straight
Call me anything you like
I'm the door and I can turn
Like the seconds on the clock
It's the light it is the rain
It's the reason I'm missing
It's the riddle in my call
I'm not what you think at all

Call me strange call me straight
Call me anything you like
I'm the door and I can turn
Like the seconds on the clock
It's the light it is the rain
It's the reason I'm missing
It's the riddle in my call
I'm not what you think at all

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.
