lyrics

I’ve been everywhere and nowhere
I’ve heard The Sound and the Fury
I’ve felt like nobody's business
I’ve smelt the rain on my back

But, I’m here to tell you why you’ve never met me
I’m not the Man in the Moon
I said, I’m here to tell you, I’m here to tell you,
I’m gonna tell you soon

I’ve seen mountains, oceans, Saturn’s Rings
I've seen the top of Scotland at the dawn of Spring
I’ve seen the good and the bad and the perfect, the scarred
from Niagara Falls to Zanzibar
I’ve seen where we’re going and who will pay
But I can’t see the Milky Way

I’ve been There and Back Again
I’ve heard What the Thunder Said
I’ve felt my heart in my hand
I’ve touched the start of the end

But, I’m here to tell you why you’ve never met me
I’m the elephant in the room.
I’m here to tell you, I’m here to tell you
I'm gonna tell you soon

I’ve had a demon lover, can play a ratamacue
I’ve got a velvet Elvis and a .32
I’ve got an undead cat by the name of Freddie
I’ve got coon’s in my garbage but my aim’s not steady.
I’ve got stars in my eyes and money to burn
But I can’t see the planet turn.

I’ve been out of my mind
I’ve heard my inner voice howl
I’ve felt alone in a crowd
I’ve worn a cape and a cowl

But I’m here to tell you why you’ll never meet me
I’m the corpse you’d never exhume.
I said I was gonna tell you that I can never tell you
how to let your flowers bloom

I’ve seen ancient hate and teenage ardor
I’ve seen the Northern Lights within a mahjong parlor.
I’ve seen grown men cry on the way to work
I’ve met the man on the hill and he’s a jerk
For all I’ve touched, felt, heard and prayed
I still ain’t seen the Milky Way.
