Teacher lyrics

Well the dawn was coming

Heard him ringing on my bell

He said, "My name's the Teacher

For 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 hating everyone

No man's an island and his castle isn't home

The nest is full of nothing when the bird has flown

So I took a journey

Throw my world into the sea

With me went the Teacher

Who found fun instead of me

Hey man, what's the plan, what was that you said

Suntanned, drink in hand, lying there in bed

I try 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
