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 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
3.
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

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

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
7.
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

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
