Out On the Patio (He Doesn't Know)

Under the heels of a broken man where the breakage goes so slow
Lies a platform where he takes a stand in the midnight afterglow
He doesn't know, he doesn't know, he doesn't know
That he don't leave nothing at all
But he'll smoke and he'll preach
And he'll damn all the insects flying into the tow

Out on the patio
He doesn't know that he doesn't know
(Out on the patio)
He doesn't know that he'll never know
(Out on the patio)
He doesn't know what he knows

Another crazy afternoon
Where the sun beats sweat right under your nose
You'd like to send up a hot air balloon
With a message saying wind never blows
Never blows, never blows, never blows
You've been standing there since you can remember
So it goes, so it goes, so it goes
And it goes until the grill burns to embers

Out on the patio
He doesn't know that he doesn't know
(Out on the patio)
He doesn't know that he'll never know
(Out on the patio)
He doesn't know what he knows

Old promises guaranteed
All novices lost to greed

A hundred thousand miles of land
Leading to somewhere where you never go
Cos you'd rather stay here where you're in charge
And the whole world is under your nose
So it goes, so it goes, so it goes
And it goes as long as you can remember
So it goes, so it goes, so it goes
And it goes until the light burns to embers

Out on the patio
