Maybe in some other country Maybe there's a man who can relate to how I feel I bet he's real Maybe he looks much like me Maybe he is 43 With slightly darker skin Drinks chamomile Maybe like me he has pictures of his lost love Hidden away in the drawer of his nightstand Maybe we've been writing the same story and we cannot comprehend That this is how the story's gonna end Because this is how the story always ends Maybe on some other planet Maybe there's another man about to understand The way I feel Maybe he sorta looks like me But he's only 33 And has six-fingered hands And sex appeal Maybe he still has pictures of his love Hanging on the wall directly above her Maybe he is writing the same story though we're light years apart And that is how the story always starts That's just how the story always starts Maybe in some other universe There is a man who can reverse the flow of time Maybe he once looked like me But now he is 23 And sharper in his mind Maybe he's taking pictures of his love Fully aware of how everything will end up Maybe he keeps writing the same story even though he knows Exactly how the story's gonna go Because this is how the story always goes That's just how the story always goes

i have tried buttoning my mind up tight but every time i close my eyes i see things clearer than when open wide when i contemplate where i stand marvel at my own hand i coordinate a subtle slide away from the day to day all over your streets and your busy feats don't it seem everything is happening and nobody sees maybe it's just me doesn't everybody know this is just a dream? doesn't everybody know nothing's what it seems? doesn't everybody poke and prod and hope something they can't see will release them from the continuum to find the universe is fair i've never ever even seen the steam at the core but i know it's there my whole philosophy comes from a part of me that you would only see around these parts with rusty goats and hungry cars on a desert in new mexico i drove my backhoe out to the arroyos and talked to carlos and he said i'm so close but still so far he said "up above the sands of your so-called sacred lands there is no plan so just look at your hands and remember it's just you it's funny how you think this is all a dream it's funny how you think nothing's what it seems it's funny how you poke and prod and hope that something you can't see will release you from the continuum your curiosity fulfilled you've never ever even seen the steam at the core and you never will" when i shift my weight to the other side of the bed at night i am reminded that she's gone from my singular path through the multiverse and it makes me curse every word i've spit every world i've split doesn't everybody know this is just a dream? it's funny how you think this is all a dream doesn't everybody know nothing's what it seems? it's funny how you think nothing's what it seems

We time warp Because we're the Time Warping Gang And we're losing hope That we'll ever make it home again The past and the future are one and the same When you time warp With the Time Warping Gang Here we go again!
