American Beauty Soundtrack The Seeker Lyrics

The Seeker Lyrics

Song: The Who

 

 I've looked under chairs 

 I've looked under tables 

 I've tried to find the key 

 To fifty million fables 

 

 chorus: 

 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 

 

 chorus 

 

 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 other 

 And we don't know what to do 

 

 chorus
