lyrics
Oh I control the organism
I do on my own
I decide what's right
and I decide what's wrong
and I won't take your forever no
I'll find mine on my own
Well these things predate the dinosaurs
it's here and never gone
and I know it's not black
and I know it's not white
I know it's not in or out out
North or south I Know I know there’s more than only two sides
And its not to the left
And its not to the right
Isn't Felt heard or seen
Do know what I mean
isn't his or mine
Who are you?
I won't cross you my head fortress
If I let my feelings rust
I Said I didn't meant to hurt you
well I did just not that much
Well I’ll Blink the eye in pyramid
Drink the spearmint from my blood
I’llBreach bomb bay beside you
pick the wicked orchid up
Watched the floors as you fell
Your descent into
Stabbed the back of yourself
For a penny a thrill
til your tongue couldn't tell
Well that's hell
At least to me that's hell
Hell is being who you're not
Trying to give up all you got to sell
Who are you?
Richard Dawkins don't know
Deepok Chopra don't know
Pee wee Herman don't know
Harry Potter Don't know
I say Nobody knows
Spicoli don't know
Eric Bana don't know
Dennis rodman don't know Doctor jones he don't know
I say nobody knows
The ayatollah don't know
Oh the pope he don't know
At the top of the poll
Don't believe when you're told
What you know just ain't so
Because nobody knows
Where we go when we go
It’s a place we must go
Nobody until we go /until then/right no nobody knows / but now nobody knows
I say nobody knows
I say nobody knows
They don’t know
They don’t know
They ain’t been there before
I don’t know
What's a sad story without a sad song
What’s a victory without an anthem
You're the magician who makes the grass green
You are the vision that sees what you see
I do on my own
I decide what's right
and I decide what's wrong
and I won't take your forever no
I'll find mine on my own
Well these things predate the dinosaurs
it's here and never gone
and I know it's not black
and I know it's not white
I know it's not in or out out
North or south I Know I know there’s more than only two sides
And its not to the left
And its not to the right
Isn't Felt heard or seen
Do know what I mean
isn't his or mine
Who are you?
I won't cross you my head fortress
If I let my feelings rust
I Said I didn't meant to hurt you
well I did just not that much
Well I’ll Blink the eye in pyramid
Drink the spearmint from my blood
I’llBreach bomb bay beside you
pick the wicked orchid up
Watched the floors as you fell
Your descent into
Stabbed the back of yourself
For a penny a thrill
til your tongue couldn't tell
Well that's hell
At least to me that's hell
Hell is being who you're not
