Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I don't know what it is, but you gotta do it
I don't know where to go, but you gotta be there
I don't know where to fall, but I know that it's comfortable where
I don't know where it is
[Verse 2]
Putting all of my time in learning to care
And a bucket of rhymes I threw up somewhere
Want a locket of who made me lose my perfunctory view
Of all that is around, and of all that I do
[Verse 3]
So I knock on the door
Take a step that is new
Never been here before
Is there anyone else who's too in love with beauty
Playing all of the games, and thinks three's company?
Is there anyone else who has slightly mysterious bruises?
I don't know what it is
[Verse 4]
Sick of looking around at friendly faces
All declaring a war on far-off places
Is there anyone else who is through with complaining about
What's done unto us?
[Verse 5]
So I knock on the door and I am on a train
Going God knows where to
To get me over
To get me over
Get me Heaven or Hell
Calais or Dover
[Verse 6]
I was hoping the train was my big number
Talking the Santa Fe and the Atchison, Topeka
But we're chugging along
Dunaway by the crossing and
Could be heading for Poland or Limbo or Lower Manhattan
Find myself running around
[Verse 7]
I don't know what it is to get me over
I don't know what it is to get me over
I don't know what it is to get me over
[Verse 8]
To get me over
[Verse 9]
You gotta do it
You gotta be there
