MR SOUL (NEIL YOUNG)

well, hello mr. soul, i dropped by to pick up a reason
for the thought that i caught that my head in the event of the season
why in crowds just a trace of my face could seem so pleasin'
i'll cop out to the change, but a stranger is putting the tease on

i was down on a frown when the messenger brought me a letter
i was raised by the praise of a fan who said i upset her
but any girl in the world could have easily known me better
she said “you're strange, but don't change” and i let her

ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh …

so in a while will the smile on my face turn to plaster
stick around while the clown who is sick does a trick of disaster
for the race of my head and my face is moving much faster
is it strange i should change, i don't know, why don't you ask her

is it strange i should change, i don't know
