I'm not here to judge. I think that I’m losing my mind Watching everyone whine all around me You said that I just can’t understand That they’re just trying to find their own way X But I’m not here to judge. I’m not here to judge It doesn’t even matter much Cuz I’m not here to judge I’m not here to judge! You said that I should go back to bed and I should cover my head and sleep soundly-- I tried. But I can’t cover my eyes with the sun beating down on me. X And I’m not here to judge——— x2 X I’m not here to judge——- x 2

I saw my whole life on the sunset limited At least enough to carry me Dreamed every dream on the sunset limited That’s how I knew what would have to be Ah- and I thinking about the move Of the clouds of gold and blue I saw your face on the sunset limited Written in the sky was a gift to me I knew I had to have you on the sunset limited That’s how I knew what would have to be Ah- and I'm thinking about the move Of the clouds of gold and blue Ah- and I’m thinking about the way You’d be together with me someday x2 {{ And in the crystal air I saw that you were there I don’t know why we can’t be together I don’t know why x2 We can’t be together... }} I don’t know why! I don’t know why I sold my soul on the sunset limited I needed to know you was guaranteed. Made a deal with the devil on the sunset limited That’s how I knew they would crucify me. Ah- and I'm thinking about the move In the clouds of gold and blue Ah- and I’m thinking about the way You’d be together with me someday x2

THE VOID 02:27
Star child from the sky From your planetary way Darth Vader of our time Our destruction we will find Why do we have to be this way? Why do we have to destroy? Why do we have to be this way? Now we’re victims of the void. In the darkness that you seek A collusion there will be Of the universal dream A story that’s been told We were never to grow old In the planetary sea Castaway society Why do we have to be this way? Why do we have to destroy? Why do we have to be this way? Now we’re victims of the void. Interstellar Expedition Why oh why must we destine to fly?? Our lives!!!!! Our lives. Prepare to die.

Don’t tell me what to say. Hey You. Don’t tell me what to do. Buy me a leather hat And teach me to behave Draw me a fucking map That leads me to my grave And when I’m in the dirt Sleeping on my own By me a leather hat And you can take me home But you.

You’re allowed to complicated baby ‘Specially when the world it drives you crazy Tighten up your boots and let your hair down You’re allowed to complicated baby Put a pout on your lips Hands on your hips And throw a fit that the cows wont miss You’re allowed to complicated baby I saw your name written in the paper It said you’re wanted by the neighbors I always knew you were in danger But you’re allowed to complicated baby Just put a pout on your lips Your hands on your hips And throw a fit that the cows can’t miss You’re allowed to complicated baby You are so complicated. My god you're complicated. I love my complicated baby!
