I took a walk out to the sun   But I just, just couldn't take it   I followed a dream, it was circular   But I just, just could not fake it      Step to the left, the left, the left   Step to the right, the right, the right   Pick up the sign, the sign, the sign   For a stride of the mind, the mind, the mind      Simon of the desert blew into town   The scalding tail of a bright cold wind   Slipped through the sand, footprints emerged   Where no one was walking, Simon had been      Dropped from heaven to a readymade world   Says I'm no Sufi but I'll give it a whirl   We booked passage on the book of the dead   Time to travel, Simon said      Step to the left, the left, the left   Step to the right, the right, the right   Pick up the sign, the sign, the sign   For a stride of the mind, the mind, the mind      Come on move, where dreams increase   Where every man is a masterpiece   If you want to be counted as another kind   And you're true, pursue      Stride of the mind, the mind, the mind   Stride of the mind, the mind, the mind      Stride of the mind, the mind, the mind   Stride of the mind, the mind, the mind      He bowed three times, removed his fez   Pointed to heaven and Simon says      The mind, the mind, the mind   Pick up the sign, the mind, the mind   It's a vertical climb, the climb, the climb   Stride of the mind, the mind, the mind      Pick up the sign, the sign, the sign   It's a vertical climb, the climb, the climb   Take it in stride
