You know I smoke
20 white whales a day
All I catch is the end of the tail
We know how it ends, anyway
All Illinois
Girls and boys
We used to be
The bottom of an ocean
I wish it still was
But there never was a shortage of wishes
So see all the fishes
And when we're all dust
Our wishes are bust
The odds are high
That we'll blow away
(but please don't prove me right)
When all you need is good
Will you start to find
That you're an alright dude?
You know I love you
There never was a doubt about that
As you wrap your mind
Round the fact
That we will unravel
From pulling threads on this sweater
Yeah, we're good now
But we could be so much better
When all you need is good
Will you start to find
That you're an alright dude?

In this museum
Hear you whisper
Here is your passport
Mr. Mister
In a dream
On an underwater train
See the whales, jellyfishes
There's no fear, but this mystery
There are worlds you've never seen
Next to worlds you've never dreamed
Mr. Mister
This is a world
Built for falling in love
But nobody knows
Just what you're thinking of
There's a world
We'll share
When we discover how
In a dream (we do, we do)
Then you'll know
I've been wishing you well
Because this is a world
Built for falling in love
But nobody knows
Just what you're thinking of
My love
O, my love

People are not barns
They leave you once they're raised
Paint myself into a corner
And set the room ablaze
You are not a fruit
I shove into my face
You are not a flower
I place inside a vase
I am not a moth
You are not the light
But if it could be that simple
This could be a hit single
But that wouldn't change shit
Yeah, manic repression
Is a castrated mess
All of the speaking points
Poking the deaf
If it could be that simple
Yeah, if it could be that simple
This could be a hit single
Yeah, manic repression
Is a castrated mess
All of the speaking points
Poking the deaf
If it could be that simple
If it could be that simple...

Go figure it out, straight scope
Figure it out
Then you'll know it
Figure it out
Stayed up late to figure it out
And I don't give a goddamn where I'm going
As long as you go
Go keep on glowing
Go figure it out, scape goat
Figure it out
Soon you'll know it
Figure it out
Trained myself to be alone
So frightened by the sound of the telephone
Straight and narrow
Walk the tight rope
It's getting lonely
But I'm filled with hope
If I can afford it
Life's a pawn shop
Trade it in for love
Life's a bus stop
But where's the fucking bus?
Go figure it out, Sherlock Holmes
Go figure it out
Then you'll know it
Figure it out
Packed my things
And I wrote a letter
No matter the case
Things could always be better
I'm not discontent
But don't get me wrong
My mood and the weather
They never seem to get along
Life can be a warm place
Soaking in the sound
Heartbreak is the common cold
With all this love around
Figure it out, scape goat
Figure it out
Then you'll know it
Figure it out, straight scope
Figure it out
Then you'll know it

Life is funny
Yeah, we know
Yeah, we know
But I keep spitting bullets out
Every time we talk
You keep the shadows on your sunburn
Everywhere you walk
And I will chase you away
Before you can leave
I'll play my cards so close to my chest
That I can barely breathe
Cuz life is funny
Yeah, we know
Yeah, we know
This little boy, he watered plants
While his grandma was away
But they all died, to his surprise
There was no one to blame
Even though he cared for them
And he watered all the leaves
Silly boy, you gotta feed the root
Of all living things
Cuz life is funny
Don't you know?
Don't you know?
And if you wanna fix me, baby
Go on, blow the candles out
And why you wanna whisper it?
You would rather shout
Hahahahahahahahaha
Cuz life is funny
But I keep spitting bullets out
Every time we talk
I keep the shadow on my sunburn
Everywhere I walk
And I will chase you away
Before you can leave
I'll play my cards so close to my chest
That I can barely breathe
Cuz life is funny
Yeah, we know
Yeah, we know
I used to be so wishy washy
But now I'm not so sure
Cuz I could never close my heart
With you blocking the door
And now it's still trapped in my mind
It doesn't matter if
You're standing here right beside me
Or a long lost silhouette
Cuz life is funny
Yeah, we know
Yeah, we know
I know you never wished for this
The wind blew all the candles out
And every time you whispered it
It sounded like a shout
There's nothing in your way
You conceal it with it kiss
And most the people you have met
You will one day miss
Cuz life is funny
Yeah, we know
Yeah, we know
Cuz it goes
Hahahahahahahahahaha
Life is funny

across the universe

Words are flowing out like endless rain into a paper cup,
They slither while they pass, they slip away across the universe
Pools of sorrow, waves of joy are drifting through my open mind,
Possessing and caressing me.
Jai guru de va om
Nothing's gonna change my world,
Nothing's gonna change my world.
Images of broken light which dance before me like a million eyes,
That call me on and on across the universe,
Thoughts meander like a restless wind inside a letter box they
Tumble blindly as they make their way
Across the universe
Jai guru de va om
Nothing's gonna change my world,
Nothing's gonna change my world.
Sounds of laughter shades of earth are ringing
Through my open views inviting and inciting me
Limitless undying love which shines around me like a
million suns, it calls me on and on
Across the universe
Jai guru de va om
Nothing's gonna change my world,
Nothing's gonna change my world.
