If it weren't for your maturity none of this would have happened
If you weren't so wise beyond your years I would've been able to control myself
If it weren't for my attention you wouldn't have been successful and
If it weren't for me you would never have amounted to very much
Ooh this could be messy
But you don't seem to mind
Ooh don't go telling everybody
And overlook this supposed crime
We'll fast forward to a few years later
And no one knows except the both of us
And I have honored your request for silence
And you've washed your hands clean of this
You're essentially an employee and I like you having to depend on me
You're kind of my protege and one day you'll say you learned all you know from me
I know you depend on me like a young thing would to a guardian
I know you sexualize me like a young thing would and I think I like it
Ooh this could get messy
But you don't seem to mind
Ooh don't go telling everybody
And overlook this supposed crime
We'll fast forward to a few years later
And no one knows except the both of us
And I have honored your request for silence
And you've washed your hands clean of this
What part of our history's reinvented and under rug swept?
What part of your memory is selective and tends to forget?
What with this distance it seems so obvious?
Just make sure you don't tell on me especially to members of your family
We best keep this to ourselves and not tell any members of our inner posse
I wish I could tell the world cause you're such a pretty thing when you're done up properly
I might want to marry you one day if you watch that weight and keep your firm body
Ooh this could be messy and
Ooh I don't seem to mind
Ooh don't go telling everybody
And overlook this supposed crime

Re: Hey Hey You You, I don't like your girlfriend...
keep you in the dark you know they all pretend
keep you in the dark and saw it all begin
send in your skeletons
sing as the bones come marchin' in again
the knee you buried deep
the secrets that you keep are ever ready, are you ready?
I'm finished making sense
done pleading ignorance
that whole defense
spending this energy
but the wheel thats spinnin' me is never ending, never ending
same ol' story
what if I say you're not like the others
what if I you're not just another one
look at your face, you're the pretender
what if I say I'll never surrender x2

I'm just another soul for sale, oh well
the pages I repress
they are not permanent, they are temporary, same ol story
what if I say you're not like the others
what if I you're not just another one
look at your face, you're the pretender
what if I say I'll never surrender x2
I'm the voice inside your head you refuse to hear
I'm the face you have to face mirroring yourself
I'm whats left, I'm whats right, I'm the enemy
I'm the hand that takes you down and brings you to your knees
so who are you, yeah who are you, yeah who are you, yeah who are you
even in the dark, you know they all pretend

Re: Hey Hey You You, I don't like your girlfriend...
I never saw the lyrics to that song written down before but I think they're clever. Especially mountains come out of the sky and they stand there. Good stuff.
I've looked under chairs
I've looked under tables
I've tried to find the key
To fifty million fables
They call me The Seeker
I've been searching low and high
I won't get to get what I'm after
Till the day I die
I asked Bobby Dylan
I asked The Beatles
I asked Timothy Leary
But he couldn't help me either
They call me The Seeker
I've been searching low and high
I won't get to get what I'm after
Till the day I die
People tend to hate me
Cause I never smile
As I ransack their homes
They want to shake my hand
Focusing on nowhere
Investigating miles
I'm a seeker
I'm a really desperate man
I won't get to get what I'm after
Till the day I die
I learned how to raise my voice in anger
Yeah, but look at my face, ain't this a smile?
I'm happy when life's good
And when it's bad I cry
I've got values but I don't know how or why
I'm looking for me
You're looking for you
We're looking in at each other
And we don't know what to do
They call me The Seeker
I've been searching low and high
I won't get to get what I'm after
Till the day I die

No, I love that song! Yes is a great band. I'm young but classic rock is still so mainstream on radio, I hear it all the time.These are the Lyrics to Roundabout by Yes

Re: Hey Hey You You, I don't like your girlfriend...
Panic that was one of my favorite songs. I am a big fan of Yes.
But they have the wackiest lyrics. Like they are just their because they fit and had no meaning.

Re: Hey Hey You You, I don't like your girlfriend...
Oh, now that you mention it, that is really true. Like Ceaser's Palace, morning glory, silly human race. I must've heard that song a million times and never really noticed I have no idea what it means.

Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence [42:04]
music by Myung, Petrucci, Portnoy, Rudess
I. OVERTURE [06:49]
(instrumental)
II. ABOUT TO CRASH - [lyrics by John Petrucci] [05:51]
She can't stop pacing
She never felt so alive
Her thoughts are racing
Set on overdrive
It takes a village
This she knows is true
they're expecting her
And she's got work to do
He helplessly stands by
It's meaningless to try
As he rubs his red-rimmed eyes
He says I've never seen her get this bad
Even though she seems so high
He knows that she can't fly
and when she falls out of the sky
He'll be standing by
She was raised in a small midwestern town
By a charming and eccentric loving father
She was praised as the perfect teenage girl
And everyone thought highly of her
And she tried everyday
With endless drive
To make the grade
Then one day
She woke up to find
The perfect girl
Had lost her mind
Once barely taking a break
Now she sleeps the days away
She helplessly stands by
It's meaningless to try
All she wants to do is cry
No one ever knew she was so sad
Cause even though she gets so high
And thinks that she can fly
She will fall out of the sky
But in the face of misery
She found hopefulness
Feeling better
She had weathered
This depression
Much to her advantage
She resumed her frantic pace
Boundless power
Midnight hour
She enjoyed the race
III. WAR INSIDE MY HEAD - [lyrics by Mike Portnoy] [02:08]
Napalm showers
Showed the cowards
We weren't there to mess around
Through heat exhaustion
And mind distortion
A military victory mounted on innocent ground
Hearing voices from miles away
Saying things never said
Seeing shadows in the light of the day
Waging a war inside my head
Years and years of
Bloodshed and warfare
Our mission was only to get in and kill
A free vacation
Of palmtrees and shrapnel
Trading innocence for permanent psychotic hell
Hearing voices from miles away
Saying things never said
Seeing shadows in the light of the day
Waging a war inside my head
Feeling strangers staring my way
Reading minds never read
Tasting danger with each word I say
Waging a war inside my head
IV. THE TEST THAT STUMPED THEM ALL - [lyrics by Mike Portnoy] [05:03]
Standing in the darkness
Waiting for the light
The smell of pure adrenaline
Burning in the night
Random blinding flashes
Aiming at the stage
Intro tape begins to roll
Igniting sonic rage
Still they keep me between these hollow walls
Hoping to find in me
The answers to the test that stumped them all
"The boy is simply crazy
Suffering from delusions
We honestly think that maybe
He might need an institution
He lives in a world of fiction
And really could use some help
We have just the place to fix him
To save him from himself"
Curled up in the darkness
Searching for the light
The smell of stale sweat and shit
Streaming through the night
Random urine testing
Pills red, pink and blue
Counseling and therapy
Providing not a clue
Still they keep me between these hollow walls
Hoping to find in me
The answers to the test that stumped them all
"We can't seem to find the answers
He seemed such a clear cut case
We cannot just let him leave here
And put all this work to waste
Why don't we try shock treatment
It really might do some help
We have just the tools to fix him
To save him from himself"
V. GOODNIGHT KISS - [lyrics by Mike Portnoy] [06:17]
Goodnight kiss in your nightgown
Lavender in your bed
So innocent as you lie down
Sweet dreams that run through your head
Are you lonely without Mommy's love?
I want you to know I'd die for that moment
You're just a poor girl
Afraid of this cruel world
Taken away from it all
It's been 5 years to the day and
My tainted blood's still the same
I can't help acting this way and
Those bastard doctors are gonna pay
I'm so lonely without baby's love
I want you to know I'd die for one more moment
I'm just a poor girl
Afraid of this cruel world
Taken away from it all
VI. SOLITARY SHELL - [lyrics by John Petrucci] [05:47]
He seemed no different from the rest
Just a healthy normal boy
His mama always did her best
And he was daddy's pride and joy
He learned to walk and talk on time
But never cared much to be held
and steadily he would decline
Into his solitary shell
As a boy he was considered somewhat odd
Kept to himself most of the time
He would daydream in and out of his own world
but in every other way he was fine
He's a Monday morning lunatic
Disturbed from time to time
Lost within himself
In his solitary shell
A temporary catatonic
Madman on occasion
When will he break out
Of his solitary shell
He struggled to get through his day
He was helplessly behind
He poured himself onto the page
Writing for hours at a time
As a man he was a danger to himself
Fearful and sad most of the time
He was drifting in and out of sanity
But in every other way he was fine
He's a Monday morning lunatic
Disturbed from time to time
Lost within himself
In his solitary shell
A momentary maniac
With casual delusions
When will he be let out
Of his solitary shell
VII. ABOUT TO CRASH (REPRISE) - [lyrics by John Petrucci] [04:04]
I'm alive again
The darkness far behind me
I'm invincible
Despair will never find me
I feel strong
I've got a new sense of elation
Boundless energy
Euphoria fixation
Still it's hard to just get by
It seems so meaningless to try
When all I want to do is cry
Who would ever know I felt so sad
Even though I get so high
I know that I will never fly
And when I fall out of the sky
Who'll be standing by
Will you be standing by
VIII. LOSING TIME/GRAND FINALE - [lyrics by John Petrucci] [06:01]
She dresses in black everyday
She keeps her hair simple and plain
She never wears makeup
But no one would care if she did anyway
She doesn't recall yesterday
Faces seem twisted and strange
But she always wakes up
Only to find she'd been miles away
Absence of awareness
Losing time
A lapse of perception
Losing time
Wanting to escape
She had created a way to survive
She learned to detach from herself
A behavior that kept her alive
Hope in the face of our human distress
Helps us to understand the turbulence deep inside
That takes hold of our lives
Shame and disgrace over mental unrest
Keeps us from saving those we love
The grace within our hearts
And the sorrow in our souls
Deception of fame
Vengeance of war
Lives torn apart
Losing oneself
Spiraling down
Feeling the walls closing in
A journey to find
The answers inside
Our illusive mind

THE JOKE’S ON ME (Zevon/Summers)
Did you ever take a moment just to stop and look around and found
You might have missed a meeting or two?
All the smiling faces of the strangers that surround me
And I start to think I don’t have a clue
Is it ignorance or bliss that fuels the never-ending happiness
That I’ve always seemed to elude?
Is it them? Is it me? Yank the starter on the litany
And try to keep from coming unglued
It looks like the joke’s on me
Cause I’m the only one that isn’t really having fun
It looks like the joke’s on me
It’s only just begun
Fade in, waiting on…
A massive mug of coffee
That I’m hoping will arouse me
From a zombie like state I’ve accrued
It’s another somber morning
Masturbate and greet the dawn in
As I’m yawning through the self abuse
Pick a suit that isn’t stained and
Floor it down the freeway
I MUST NOT BE LATE
Cause the boss is out of Vicodin
And now the real pain begins
So why’s he laughing?
Cause it looks like the joke’s on me
Since I’m the only one that isn’t really having fun
It looks like the joke’s on me
I signed the dotted line
To be the perfect punch line
And nobody told me
That I be the folly
Cause it looks like the jokes on me
The agony of defeat
With a catchy melody
Standing dead on my feet
Maybe someone should bury me
A natural born loser
Smothered in humor
It looks like the joke’s on me
Stumbling down the road of life
Ignoring all the good advice
I never had the sense to use
But we’ve all got a path to choose
And stupid is as stupid do’s
Maybe I was born to amuse
It looks like the joke’s on me
Cause I’m the only one that isn’t really having fun
It looks like the joke’s on me
Forget humility and I’ll provide the comedy
It looks like the joke’s on me
You check my spine you’ll find a burden and a kick me sign
It looks like the joke’s on me
I’m just a bland mime yanking on a fake line
I’ll keep on pulling
But who am I fooling?
Cause it looks like the joke’s on me

Cause I’m the only one that isn’t really having fun
It looks like the joke’s on me
It’s only just begun
Fade in, waiting on…
A massive mug of coffee
That I’m hoping will arouse me
From a zombie like state I’ve accrued
It’s another somber morning
Masturbate and greet the dawn in
As I’m yawning through the self abuse
Pick a suit that isn’t stained and
Floor it down the freeway
I MUST NOT BE LATE
Cause the boss is out of Vicodin
And now the real pain begins
So why’s he laughing?
Cause it looks like the joke’s on me
Since I’m the only one that isn’t really having fun
It looks like the joke’s on me
I signed the dotted line
To be the perfect punch line
And nobody told me
That I be the folly
Cause it looks like the jokes on me
The agony of defeat
With a catchy melody
Standing dead on my feet
Maybe someone should bury me
A natural born loser
Smothered in humor
It looks like the joke’s on me
Stumbling down the road of life
Ignoring all the good advice
I never had the sense to use
But we’ve all got a path to choose
And stupid is as stupid do’s
Maybe I was born to amuse
It looks like the joke’s on me
Cause I’m the only one that isn’t really having fun
It looks like the joke’s on me
Forget humility and I’ll provide the comedy
It looks like the joke’s on me
You check my spine you’ll find a burden and a kick me sign
It looks like the joke’s on me
I’m just a bland mime yanking on a fake line
I’ll keep on pulling
But who am I fooling?
Cause it looks like the joke’s on me
I thought that was really good, especially II, IV, and VII. I liked how the lyrics in VII referenced back to the ones in II.
Hey, I know the feeling! Cool lyrics.At least today anyway
THE JOKE’S ON ME (Zevon/Summers)
Yeah, A bit of a long song (over 40 minutes) but it's definitely worth a listen.

There's only one way of Life
And that's your own
My father when I was younger
Took me up to the hill
That I looked down on to the city smog
Above the factory spill
He said this is where I come
When I want to be free
Well he never was in his lifetime
But these words stuck with me
I ran from all of this
And climbed that highest hill
And looked down on my life
Beneath the factory spill
I looked down onto my life
As the family disagree
Then to all my friends on the starting line
Their wages off to chase
and all my friends and all their jobs
And all the bloody waste
CHORUS
I grow up, learned to [FONT=Arial, sans-serif][FONT=Arial, sans-serif]love[/FONT][/FONT] and laugh
Circled A's on the underpass
But the noise we thought would never stop
Died a death as the punks grow up
And we choked on our dreams
We wrestled with our fears
Running through the heartless [FONT=Arial, sans-serif][FONT=Arial, sans-serif]concrete[/FONT][/FONT] streets
Chasing our ideas
And the problems of the world
Won't be solved by this guitar
And they won't stop coming either
By the life I've had so far
And the bright lights of my home town
Won't be getting any [FONT=Arial, sans-serif][FONT=Arial, sans-serif]dinner[/FONT][/FONT]
Though their calling has receded now
Like some old distant [FONT=Arial, sans-serif][FONT=Arial, sans-serif]singer[/FONT][/FONT]
And they don't seem so appealing
To the eyes of this poor sinner
