Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Take a little dope
And walk out in the air
The stars are all connected to the brain
Find me a woman
And lay down on the ground
Her pleasure comes falling down like rain
Get myself a car
I feel power as I fly
Oh, now I'm really in control
[Chorus]
It all looks fine to the naked eye
But it don't really happen that way at all
Don't happen that way at all
[Instrumental]
You sign your own name
And I sign mine
They're both the same, we still get separate rooms
Cover up your guts
But when you cover up your nuts
You're admitting that there must be something wrong
Press any button
Milk and honey flow
The world begins behind your neighbor's wall
[Chorus]
It all looks fine to the naked eye
But it don't really happen that way at all
Don't happen that way at all
[Instrumental]
Let her go
It happened that way
[Instrumental]
You hold the gun
And I hold the wound
And we stand looking in each other's eyes
Both think we know what's right
Both know we know what's wrong
We tell ourselves so many, many, many lies
[Instrumental]
It all looks fine to the naked eye
But it don't really happen that way at all
Don't happen that way at all
[Instrumental]
