Lyrics


1. THE SEEKER

I've looked under chairs
I've looked under tables
I've tried to find the key
To fifty million fables

(chorus)

They call me The Seeker
I've been searching low and high
I won't get to get what I'm after
Till the day I die

I asked Bobby Dylan
I asked The Beatles
I asked Timothy Leary
But he couldn't help me either

(chorus)

People tend to hate me
'Cause I never smile
As I ransack their homes
They want to shake my hand

Focusing on nowhere
Investigating miles
I'm a seeker
I'm a really desperate man

I won't get to get what I'm after
Till the day I die

I learned how to raise my voice in anger
Yeah, but look at my face, ain't this a smile?
I'm happy when life's good
And when it's bad I cry
I've got values but I don't know how or why

I'm looking for me
You're looking for you
We're looking in at each other
And we don't know what to do


2. HERE FOR MORE

You can pack up your bags and go looking,
For all things that need to be done,
Or you can spend all your life not thinking,
Never ending what you begun.

You take a step in the right direction,
But the man knocks us down on the floor,
And although he may think we are broken,
We'll get up and take two steps more.

It's your life to do what you want to,
By the way you push yourself out to the fore,
And whatever you think of the reason,
You bet your life you're here for more.

It's your life to do what you want to,
By the way you push yourself out to the fore,
And whatever you think of the reason,
You bet your life you're here for more.

You may think that you're pretty good people,
And you run at an even score,
But whatever you think you are here for,
You bet your life you're here for more.
