Not What You See |
| No life’s so short it can’t turn around |
| You can’t spend your life living underground |
| For from above you don’t hear a sound |
| And I’m out here, waiting |
| I don’t understand what you want me to be |
| It’s the dark you’re hating, it’s not who I am But I know that it’s all that you see |
| No life’s so short that it never learns |
| No flame so small that it never burns |
| No page so sure that it never turns |
| And I’m out here, waiting |
| I don’t understand what you want me to be |
| It’s the dark you’re hating, it’s not who I am But I know that it’s all that you see |
| (bridge) |
| Can you live your life in a day, putting every moment in play? |
| Never hear a word that they say as the wheels go around |
| Tell me if you win would it show — in a thousand years, who would know? |
| As a million lives come and go on this same piece of ground |
| (simultaneously) |
| Can you live your life in a day I’ve been waiting |
| Putting every moment in play? |
| Never hear a word that they say I don’t understand what you want me to be |
| As the wheels go around |
| Tell me if you win would it show It’s the dark you’re hating |
| In a thousand years, who would know? |
| As a million lives come and go It’s not who I am, but it is what you see |
| On this same piece of ground |
| (simultaneously) |
| I’ve been waiting |
| I don’t understand what you want me to be |
| It’s the dark you’re hating |
| It’s not who I am, but it is what you see |
| Putting every moment in play? |
| As the wheels go around |
| In a thousand years, who would know? |
| On this same piece of ground |
| See me leave this night without you |
| Wondering where we might be Tokyo, Berlin and Moscow |
| One day that world we will see |
| (simultaneously again, except substitute this for stanza 1 and clip last three |
| syllables |
| of the last line of stanzas 2 and 3) |
| I don’t understand |
| I don’t understand |
| I don’t understand |
| I don’t understand |
| I don’t understand |
| I don’t understand |
| I don’t understand |
| I don’t understand… |
| (together, immediately) |
| …what I see. |
| (solo) |
| (coda) |
| I swear on tomorrow, if you take this chance |
| Our lives are this moment, the music — the dance |
| And here in this labyrinth of lost mysteries |
| I close my eyes on this night and you’re all that I see |
| You’re all that I see |
