Anytime somebody asks
Where do you think you are?
I look for familiar ground
But I've come too far
It's a hard, a hard thing to discern
It's a hard lesson to learn
Anytime the agents
It knows I'm in a jam
It can locate the time and date
Note where I really am
It's a hard, a hard thing to discern
It's a hard lesson to learn
On this search I will find all the places I need
I will look for the love that I knew in my dreams
What I seek leads me far from wherever I come
Pulling me out of the world
This world that never, never, never stays the same
The compass and the gyroscope
The mirror and the map
Whenever I lost my bearings
I land in someone's lap
It's a hard, a hard thing to discern
It's a hard lesson to learn
Pick up all the magnets
As they spin around the wheel
One body round another
It's an motion you can feel
It's a hard, a hard thing to discern
It's a hard lesson to learn
On this search I will find all the places I need
I will look for the love that I knew in my dreams
They were leading me far from wherever I'd come
Pulling me out of the world
This world that never, never, never stays the same
Walking across the ice
Not knowing which way to turn
And waiting for the sound of the crack
It's a hard, a hard thing to discern
It's a hard lesson to learn
On this search I will find all the places I need
I will look for the love that I knew in my dreams
What I seek leads me far from wherever I come
Pulling me out of the world
This world that never, never, never stays the same
Talking, talking, talking, talking
Talking, talking, talking, talking
They will me
Talking, talking, talking, talking
They will me
Ooh-wow, ooh-wow
Ooh-wow, ooh-wow
Ooh-wow, ooh-wow
Ooh-wow, ooh-wow
