[intro]

[verse 1 (theme 1)]
you say you’re going with me, i say we’re going together
you’re giving lessons to me, i’m quoting you to the letter

[chorus 1 (theme 1)]
you’re revolutionary
it’s such a load to carry

[verse 2 (theme 1)]
you’re overplaying to calm me, the playing field’s on the level
and anyone can agree it’s not a vote for the devil

[chorus 2 (theme 1)]
it doesn’t make any sense to re-ssemble your fence
our revolution is now, the place we’re going is better

[break (theme 1)]
you say you’re going with me
you say you’re going with me
you say you’re going with me

[verse 3 (theme 2)]
don’t ask for a second chance
it’s too late for that
we can make a small amendment to your sensitive side but
you’ll have to price for that
decide whose side you’re playing upon
while you’re diffusing the bomb
i didn’t know how you could it with the grease in your palms
we’ll call it tit for tat

[verse 4 (theme 2)]
do the things i do and you can read between the lines
and don’t be too surprised when no one’s listening
limping from the field, you never laud your valentines
and who’s to blame for that?

[verse 5 (theme 3)]
how does it feel
when you’re motionless and can’t perform?
what does it mean
when the world you’ve left can’t be reformed?
’cause like it or not
you’re gonna find a tight spot at least a couple of times a day
then you reveal
all the tools you so relied upon

[verse 6 (theme 4)]
well, there’s something happening and it don’t seem right
too many people liked it way too uptight
this isn’t a race, man, there won’t be any winners
every time you wake up, you’re just another f-cking beginner
so there’s something happening that just don’t seem right
grow a spine instead of living absent in plain sight (ah)

[break (theme 4)]
there’s many methods to mad
like take your hands from your pockets when you go down to the back

[verse 7 (theme 4)]
there’s something happening here for sure, i’ll bite
the big stars in your eyes won’t deliver any light

[bridge 1 (theme 4)]
do you think she loves you?
do you show that you care?
can you rise up above her?
do you feel heavy?

[verse 8 (theme 4)]
what i thought after what i said (what you said)
would never mean a thing to anyone (ah)
and then what you wrote and then what i read (what you read)
’cause you won’t tag along with me

[verse 9 (theme 5)]
i can’t believe you never told me the truth
about all the reasons for you cutting me loose
if i’ve a legion to bear, you could wear it
and all the hope that springs

[chorus 3 (theme 5)]
what it does is unexplainable
what it is is unsustainable

[verse 10 (theme 5)]
i couldn’t tell that you were always so lonesome
you never typed it on your cellular phone
an application for that’s in the backup
and all the luck it brings

[chorus 3 (theme 5)]
what it is is unsustainable
what it does is unexplainable

[verse 11 (theme 6)]
you said you were going with me
it’s evolutionary
you said that you would come with me
now i only pull when it’s free
so what will it mean?

[verse 12 (theme 2)]
i asked for a proper gl-ss
half full is fine
but if you really need it perfect, have it carved in some stone
we’re running out of time

[verse 13 (theme 3)]
and how did it feel?
how did it feel?
how did it feel when outside forces pushed toward home?
can you conceal?
can you conceal your status symbols all on loan?
let’s make a deal
let’s make a deal, we’re leaving well enough alone

[verse 14 (theme 7)]
sometimes i feel like i’m slipping away
(da-da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da-da-da)
sometimes it feels like i’m so awake
(da-da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da-da-da)

[verse 15 (theme 7)]
they don’t expect you, just give it away
i can’t express this any other way
so don’t pretend you got something to say
cast out your net and wait for another day
they don’t expect you to slip ’em away
if you motion me this way, i’ll go thataway

[the lesson (theme 8)]

[verse 16 (theme 8)]
inside a cloud, a light less glowing
i get the sense
that you’ve preyed on personal mind blowings
here in the present tense
so how much love is left to give?
ten thousand tons or more would be my guess, oh

[chorus 4 (theme 8)]
and we’re saying a prayer for you
if we can understand it, why can’t you?

[verse 17 (theme 8)]
you know i hear in terms of colours
always sliding on scales and b-mping into one another
so if happiness lies deep within us
how come most deny it for themselves, oh?

[chorus 4 (theme 8)]
and we’re saying a prayer for you
if we can understand it, why can’t you?

[solo]

[chorus 4 (theme 8)]
we’ll be saying a prayer for you
if we can understand it, why can’t you?

[verse 18 (theme 8)]
there’s a tunnel that i can’t see through
wwlrd?

[outro]
