There's a way I feel right now Wish you'd help me, don't know how We're all nuts so who helps who Some help when no one's got a clue Baby, why don't we? Baby, why don't we? There's a place I'd like to go When you get there then I'll know There's a place I know you've been Here's a wagon, get on it Baby, why don't we? x4 Why don't we? On't see me, you won't see me There you are and here I stand Tryin' to make you feel my hand You won't see me you won't see me I ring the doorbell in your mind But it's locked from the outside You won't see me you won't see me You don't live there anyway but I knock on it all day You won't see me, you won't see me There's a place I go but You're not there and I'm supposed to know How to get to Where you're gonna be but you don't even know So I'm flakin' while you're shakin' it With every stone You fly without a mind, without a spine What is it that you wanna find? There's a place I go but you're not there And I'm supposed to know How to get to where you're gonna be But you don't even know So I'm flalin' while you're sailin' off without a course in mind Without a mind, without a dock What is it that you wanna find There's a place I'd like to go When you get there then I'll know There's a place I know you've been Here's a wagon, get on Baby, why don't we? baby, why don't we? why don't we? You won't see me you won't see me There you are and here I stand tryin' to make you feel my hand You won't see me you won't see me I ring the doorbell in your mind but it's locked from the outside You won't see me you won't see me You don't live there anyway but I knock on it all day You won't see me you won't see me
