Not for Forever

You got your theories
And they make perfect sense to you
You got your feelings
And they feel real intense to you
This is what you think
And this is how you think it
This is your fantasy
But no matter what you think
Or how you think it
It's got nothing on me
I will not love you
Not now, not ever
I will never feel what you feel
I will not love you
Not now, not for forever
You got your needs
And you want them fulfilled
You got your desires
All of which you've willed
This is what you want
This is what drives you
This is you down to the core
But I do not feel you
You’re not in my heart
I thought I made that clear before
It's never gonna happen, no way and no how
Not then, not tomorrow, and never not now
You think I’m the one
The girl of your dreams
And you wanna go on thinking it
Because to you that’s how it seems
Don't think that you know me
Don't think you know what's on my mind
I don’t feel nothing
And I never will
Sorry if that sounds unkind

What Day Is It?
04:52
|

What time is it
I can't begin to tell ya
It must be getting late is all that I know
My bones are aching
And I feel so exhausted
The whole wide world has rocked me to and fro
What day is it
What does it really matter
We get dragged along kicking and screaming
What day is it
Who knows for certain
Who can say if we're wide awake or if we are dreaming
Where am I now
I don't have a compass
Don't got no GPS to point me the way
Don’t look to me
If you need directions
‘Cause me getting lost is in my DNA
Part of me wishes that if I just keep on going
Somehow magically things will work out
But part of me knows that that won’t ever happen
And I tend to err on the side of doubt
How did this happen
It’s all a mystery
And I don’t think an answer will suddenly appear
I should turn off my mind
And I should relax
Float downstream where the coast is clear

I’m not here to tell you how I feel
I can only tell you what I feel is real
It is not a window on the world I want
What I want is the world itself
I’m not here to tell you my own truth
I can only tell you my truth is mine
It is not a room with a view I want
What I want is the view itself
I’m not here to tell you what is what
I can only tell you what I know is what
It is not what is that I want
What I want is is itself

Truth Be Told
05:01
|
|||
Last night the machine broke down
So many pieces lay in ruin
And all the king's horses and all the king's men
Didn't seem to know what they were doin'
Orders came down from up on high
No one could explain the reasoning why
We're all in this together, yeah
We're all in this together
Lookin' for an answer
But nothing's clear
Looking for the truth
So we can persevere
Truth be told
There ain't nothing
Truth be told
There ain't nothing
Last night our faith gave out
So many years we worked and slaved
All of that has now come to naught
Never mind how much we gave
Pack up your stuff and hit the lights
It's going to be a pretty rough night
We're all in this together, yeah
We're all in this together
What will we do for the rest of our days
What will we do when nothing pays
Last night the our world shut down
It's like we barely left a presence
We drank some beer and we shared a laugh
About our unplanned obsolescence
Here's to Johnny and here's Jean
When we look back what did it mean
We're all in this together, yeah
We're all in this together

In the Moment
03:33
|
|||
All these feelings I feel
I feel them in the moment
All these feelings feel real
And I feel them in the moment
But when the moment goes
The feelings go
And I am lost forever
Oh dear brother can you take me there
Can you take me by the hand
Oh sweet sister can you take me there
Can you take me to the promised land
All these dreams that I dream
I feel them in the moment
When I am splitting at the seams
I still feel it in the moment
But when the moment goes
I go lose control
And I am lost forever
Can you take me back
Can you take me back there
Can you take me back
Brother can you take me there
All the rooms I've slept in
I feel them in the moment
And all this shit I've stepped in
I feel it in the moment
Can't you see me
I’m your idiot son
And I am lost forever

How do I stack up next to you
Well I don’t think that I can compare
I am who I am
You are who you are
Not wired into your hardware
Where do I fit
In the scheme of things
It don’t matter that much to me
I’ve found my spot
My little universe
Where I hold the master key
Where I fit in
Where I fit in
You wanna know why I am seeking attention
But that's not what I seek
I’ve lived my life
In the wilderness
And all I want is an inside peek
Tell me you don’t need approval
You don’t need no approbation
Tell me you have done it all on your own
You have built your own foundation
I am an apple and you are an orange
Yeah it's a hackneyed cliche
I don’t wanna live
Inside your skin
Or be your protege

The Year of My Begoña
04:20
|
|||
Of all the people I’ve ever known
No one comes close to you
Of all the love I’ve ever felt
There is nothing to compare it to
I was ready to end it all
But then you went and pulled me through
There is no one
There is no one
There is no like you
Of all the places I’ve ever been
And the people, the people I have met
Of all the journeys I have taken
The ones I recall, the ones I forget
You are my numero one
You hit me like a megaton
Of all the dreams I’ve ever dreamed
I've never dreamed someone like you
You're inside me like a wrecking ball
And it feels absolutely true

Misadventure
05:15
|

There is a house in Los Angeles
Where ghosts come and go
And they do what they please
There’s a door left open
And a swarm of bees
And they fly 'round the kitchen
In this house in Los Angeles
Holy, holy
I left my keys in the lock
Holy, holy
Feel that aftershock
Life by misadventure
Life by misadventure
There is a house in Silver Lake
Where the ghosts have a drink
At DeAngelo’s wake
There’s a door left open
And a smashed birthday cake
And the foundation slides
At this house in Silver Lake
Holy, holy
There’s a chop shop in the back
Holy, holy
Grizzly Adam’s on smack
There is a house in Echo Park
Where the ants dance a tango
After it gets dark
There’s a door left open
And a question mark
And the answer never comes
At this house in Echo Park
Holy, holy
There is Blake in a box
Holy, holy
If I could only turn back the clocks

My Goodtime Sally
03:38
|
|||
There are days when it’s all too much
And I got no place to turn
And there are days when it all breaks down
And I have cause for concern
Who do I look to
I look to you
You are the walrus
Coo coo ca choo
Won’t you be my good time Sally
Won’t you be my good time gal
Won’t you be my ever-loving pally
Won’t you be my good time, Sal
Won’t you be my good time gal
There are days when I’ve plumb run out of gas
And there ain’t no way get refilled
And there are days when I fall down in a hole
And the ground above me has just been tilled
Who will help me
Why not you
You are the walrus
Coo coo ca choo
There are days when I have me mortal thoughts
Just wan’ put a big ol’ gun to my head
I ain’t kidding and I ain’t faking
Just wish that I were dead
Who will love me
How about you
You are the walrus
Coo coo ca choo

Hey Rider
04:57
|

You say you want a revolution
Well don’t you know that you can count me out
You say you got a real solution
But what is your solution all about
You can’t turn back the clock
Can’t defy the laws of gravity
You can’t pull yourself through a black hole
Into a singularity
Hey rider, where ya riding to
I hear your song, I hear your song
Hey rider, can I follow you
Can I go along, can I go along
You say you got an answer
Well excuse me if I don’t kiss the sky
You wanna spread it around like cancer
The lord thy god adonai
But just because you believe
Well it don't make it so
We're all so easily manipulated
According to Rousseau
I know you rider
You’ll be leaving at the dawn
I know you rider
Gonna miss you when you’re gone
You say you got a real solution
Well we’d all love to see the plan
You ask me for a contribution
We're all doing what we can
Well there you go
Flying over the horizon
Can’t tear myself away
Gotta keep my eyes on

I go for a walk
Through the streets of this town
Nothing but ghosts here
No one else around
The light is a-fading
Yonder rises the moon
The sun's not set but it will be soon
All the cars are abandoned
And the subway is broke
Wondering what happened
To all the common folk
The light is a-fading
Yonder rises the moon
The sun's not set but it will be soon
Everything divides up into itself I suppose
Just why that is nobody knows
I think I hear laughter
But it’s just a wisp on the wind
No more salvation
Just hell for the sinned
The light is a-fading
Yonder rises the moon
The sun's not set but it will be soon

Shimmer
04:55
|

I can feel the energy
That you are transmitting
And it blows me apart
Like atoms that are splitting
You have found me deep, deep down
In my darkest spot
And you have pulled me through
My most darkest thought
Good, good vibes come through to me
I can feel you on your frequency
And it turns me on like a radio
And it shines on me till I’m all aglow
It’s a light that shimmers
It’s a light that shimmers
I can feel the heat
That you are emanating
And it sears through me
And leaves me pulsating
You have lifted me up, up, up
From the bottom of a well
You have dragged me out
Out of my hell
I can feel the love
That you are giving
It's like nothing I’ve known
And it keeps me living
You have stuck with me
Through the thin and the thin
You have held me fast
Like a cotter pin
