When the house was standing You'd never have believed it When the house was standing You'd never have believed The bricks and mortar, have all given way At first, they resisted, but then they began to sway How can you say, forever, is at your command? How can you say, the future's in the palm, in the palm of your hand? When the house was standing You'd never have believed it When the house was standing You'd never have believed That gaping hole, was, once a foundation Where you stand now were tools in a basement and How can you say, forever, is at your command? How can you say, the future's in the palm, in the palm of your hand?

Oh life When are you truly there Do you think about the world How far this time to be yourself Must you go down a stream Floating on the top is better And you feel just what you are What you are talking about is pure What you're talking about is pure What you're talking about is pure And what you're talking about Must be the dream beyond the words It gives way and steers itself How far this time to be the one That you knew was always here Won't you take the time to get it So you'll know just what you are What you're talking about is pure What you're talking about is pure What you're talking about is pure And what you're talking about Will hang the sun every day to melt you down Will hang the sun every day to melt you down

It's a lie that's filled with reason It's a chord you'll never figure out And there's something about this machine That tells you that this was the right thing How can I bond with something That doesn't have a soul? It's time to get to the bottom of it And let the mystery unfold

Every thought about you takes a rest Less than nothing makes you perfect now I'm on the top of the world I'm feeling like all these places Are just little breaks from the heart Something breaks from your heart I feel the fight take you back But troubles there won't attack There's nothing really left to do But to just keep loving this Where did you forget about all of this life? Battles cannot rattle you anymore The mystery grows larger when you drive To Alta Dena streets somehow survive
