Any lyrics by Yes can not make any sense if you try.
But the comedian Bill Bailey pointed out that in a song by The Killers, there's a line which goes 'I've got soul, but I'm not a soldier'. This sounds all very nice and poetic to start with, but if you think about it, what does it actually mean? It's just mindless drivel. It makes just about as much sense as 'I've got ham, but I'm not a hamster'.
