"The Seeker" lyrics

"The Seeker"

I've looked under chairs, I've looked under tables
Tried to find the key to fifty million fables
They call me the seeker, I've been searchin' low and high
I won't get to get what I'm after 'til the day I die

I asked Bobbie Dylan, I asked the Beatles
I asked Timothy Leary but he couldn't help me either
They call me the seeker
I've been searchin' low and high
I won't get to get what I'm after 'til the day I die

People tend to hate me 'cause I never smile
As I reach out their homes, they wanna shake my hand
Focus in a nowhere, investigate a mile
I'm a seeker, I'm really tough for a man

I won't get to get what I'm after 'til the day I die
I learned how to raise my voice with anger
Well, look at my face, ain't this a smile?
I'm happy when I'm through, when it's bad, I cry
I got bad new for when I don't know how or why

I'm looking mean, lookin' for you
Lookin' at each other when we don't know what to do
They call me the seeker
I've been searchin' low and high
I won't get to get what I'm after 'til the day I die
