When I can't find the words to express
The joy I feel in my chest
I let the music, take me
Endorphins for the fiends
Sex organs for machines
We are morphed into our dreams
Where nothing is what it seems
And when I close eyes and hear the beat it's pristine
I feel it; I wield it, like a sorcerer's staff
And scorch the earth and blaze these trails
And then sit back and just laugh
Cuz music soothed the savage in me
Pacify my mind and keep at bay whatever's ravaging me
Ravishingly beautiful's this musical fix
Synthesizer to acoustical I'm hittin' that spliff
Melodies my pharmaceutical addicted to riffs
Of all sorts, My cohorts fortified
With the baddest of musicians, that's livin' and not alive
Bottom line: I need these damn decibels daily for getting by
When I can't find the words to express
The joy I feel in my chest
I let the music, take me
When I can't find the words to express
The joy I feel in my chest
I let the music, take me
The way I felt when I first heard Zeppelin
First heard Joplin, first heard Slug
And I gotta go cop them
Study every word dissect the verses
Check one two, gone get subversive
Lyrics so slick I bet they wrote it in cursive
Rocking out to Bradley's harmonies perfect
Or should I say sublime
Gets me every time in the summertime
When the living's easy and the song is tight
But when it gets cold at night
Frostbit hands and I lose that light
Jar of Flies' what got me by
Built to Spill's my marble Rye
I'll pry away from a granny's hands
It's important to me, I'm sorry in advance
Sorry in advance
Listening to music, up all night, up all night
Thinking bout right, thinking bout wrong
Thinking bout life and light that's gone
Park that mood with a Pinback tune
Spin it for a minute to enhance the gloom
My headspace ready for the Crack of Doom
Crack of dawn and I'm humming songs
DJ play in my head all day
Can't get away
Beautiful prison I choose to stay though
Stockholm syndrome sil' vous plait bro
Let me be, headphones, in the zone, hit repeat
Not a guilty pleasure it's a guilty need, what can I say?
Life without music's incomplete
It's not for me
When I can't find the words to express
The joy I feel in my chest
I let the music, take me
When I can't find the words to express
The joy I feel in my chest
I let the music, take me
