I like the way the look
In your crystal ball
With your mystic book
So supernatural
I like the way you walk
Down the mirrored hall
In your sacred gown
So supernatural
Primevil paradise
Alchemical chords
Set sail for the sunlit sky
So supernatural
Transit into tantric bliss
Slide down perception door
Feel the void and the great extreme
So supernatural
Disguised emotions
Leak on the floor
Behind curtains of blue lotus
So supernatural
I like the way I feel
Like nothing at all
I like the way I feel
So supernatural

Dreaming

These pretty girls in these shitty places
And I'm thinking about this dream of fame and fortune,
Fakes in suits in a game of costumes
Cause today it's all about looking cool,
Image equals success and having it all.
Cause people seem to think I've got no feelings
They don't know I'm too busy dreaming
They just think that I'm only ego
But I've just had enough and I need to go
I saw you kiss another guy in town,
You looked at me with a grin and a smile
And said, hey man! What's it got to do with you
Nothing anymore honey, you do what you gotta do
Now it's a shame it had to end like this
All this hurt, over a kiss
Well I, I guess I'll see you now
You have a good life
Spare me a thought when you're fourty and a wife
People seem to think I've got no feelings
They don't know I'm too busy dreaming
They just think that I'm only ego
But I've just had enough and I need to go
Well I suppose in all, yeah, life is just a joke
Well I'm gonna sit right here, and have me a smoke
I guess what bugs me is where do I stand
I loved you a little, but I won't reprimand
You had me locked up, I did my time
you choose your life and I'll choose mine
And my choice is a pint of the good stuff
A smile a joke, yeah! Acting a bit tough
Hanging around, yeah! Dreaming them good dreams
I don't think you know just what that means
Cause people seem to think I've got no feelings
They don't know I'm too busy dreaming
They just think that I'm only ego
But, I've just had enough and I need to go
Well I suppose in all yeah, life is just a joke
Well I'm gonna sit right here man, and have me a smoke
Well I suppose in all yeah, life is just a joke
I never wanted to say goodbye
I never wanted to make you cry
Well I suppose in all yeah, life is just a joke
Well I'm gonna sit right here man and have me a smoke
I suppose in all yeah life is just a joke
Well I'm gonna sit right here man and have me a smoke
Goodbye,
Goodbye,
See ya!

I see him on the corner
With some money in his hands
The dealer walks up to him
And says 'What can I do ya, man?'
He looked him,
With pale complextion on his face
He said 'Can you do me something
I can smoke and chase'
Cause he's a junkie
(yeah yeah yeah, woo woo!)
He just likes getting high
Cause he's a junkie
(yeah yeah yeah, woo woo!)
He don't even know why
How much he pays,
For the things that they weigh
Deep down it goes,
Until god only knows
Whether he'll live or he'll die
Or just get his groovy high
Cause all these pills
At the end of the day, man
You know it all kills
Cause he's a junkie
(yeah yeah yeah, woo woo!)
He just likes getting high
Cause he's a junkie
(yeah yeah yeah, woo woo!)
He don't even know why
Cause he's a junkie
(yeah yeah yeah, woo woo!)
He just likes getting high
Cause he's a junkie
(yeah yeah yeah, woo woo!)
He don't even know why

Why won't you let me feel happy
Why won't you let me feel sad
Why do you have to bring me down oh down
Even when I haven't been bad
You say that I got a reputation
I've been acting uncool
You call me all these nasty names
Part of all your crazy games
When did I become your fool
You better just leave
Get back, get back, get back,
Get out of my head
Get out of my head
Get out of my head
Why won't you just leave me
Just let me love this women
You didn't even break my heart
You just hurt me because you can
And all I do is try to please you
Try to tame that croocked smile
Well if you ask me for an inch in matchsticks women
You know I'll spark up a mile
You better just leave
Get back, get back, get back,
Get out of my head
Get out of my head
Get out of my head
Why won't you let me feel happy
Why won't you let me feel sad
Why do you have to bring me down oh down
Even when I haven't been bad
You say that I've got a reputation
I've been acting uncool
You call me all these nasty names
Part of all your crazy games
When did I become your fool
You better just leave
Well Get back, get back, get back,
Get out of my head
Get out of my head
Get out of my head
Get out of my head (get out of my head)
Get out of my head (get out of my head)
