Lyrics:
You say I’ll be happier if I lie and let you teach
But what’s in it for me, what’s in it for me?
You say I’ll be happier if I give you what you seek
But what’s in it for me, what’s in it for me?
Well... it’s been years now, I’m doing fine, thanks for asking
I still live on, persist beyond my short allotted time with you
I’ve seen infinity, it’s longer than you think
And now I’m walking back right through it just to see if I can find anything new
So far I’m penniless, found nothing in that sea I drowned in
Even the sand below won’t show me any trace of those old spires
Oh I tried, I can’t deny, it was a venture and a half
And now I’m sopping wet, I’m dropping dead, I’m angry and I’m tired
Then again, the time I spent was no regret for me
To know, reaffirm that there was nothing left to find
No self within to speak of, no crying voice to follow
There must have been a day I went and left myself behind
He drifted long ago to somewhere I can’t reach
Dissolved and deliquesced, he slept in starlight, never again to rise
I hold no piece of him no more, he took it all away
I only wish I had the chance to say goodbye.
(OH AIN’T THAT SUMMIN? DRUMS CAME IN YOU AIN’T SEE THAT COMMIN)
What am I now? Good question, I haven’t any clue
I’m something, that’s for sure, I think, therefore I am, I think?
The sea I know is full of terrible leviathans, but...
I’ve got the rest of time to make some land
The sea was good to me, I wish her all the best
Our time was wonderful, but over, all precious things can’t last
I’m a cartographer, I’ll take a piece of paper and...
Bark as loud as I can
You said I’d be happier if I lay and let you teach
But what’s in it for me? What’s in it for me?
You said I’d be happier if I gave you what you seek
But what’s in it for me...
Honey, I’m smiling big
On a road right now that I can’t predict
Tell me “Tone that down” but I can’t resist
Y’all know that sound, better raise your fist
(belt’s back yeh)
Set up camp at the end ‘a time
Rewrite the story line by line
It’s arduous, but I think you might agree...
There's no better a time to see
No better a time to see
No better a time to see
No better a time to see
What's in it for me
