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

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.
