How Long Has This Been Going On lyrics

I was taught that I ought Not expose my inner senses Had no plan for man I was full of self-defences Now I feel that I really Should face the consequences My philosophic search Has left me in the lurch I must find why my mind Is behaving like a dancer What's the clue to pursue? For I have to have the answer I could cry Salty tears Where have I been All these years? Is it fun? Or should I run? How long has this been going on? There were chills Up my spine And some thrills I can't define Does it show? And who would know? How long has this been going on? Oh, I feel Like I could melt Into heaven I'm hurled I know how Columbus felt Finding another world Can I trust how I feel? Is this my Achilles heel? Look at me I'm all at sea How long has this been going on? This is grand! This is great! I'm in such a Lovely state! Can one kiss do All of this?
