I thought I was smart
I thought I was right
I thought it better not to fight
I thought there was a virtue, in always being cool
So it came time to fight
I thought "I'll just step aside"
And that the time would prove you wrong
And that you would be the fool
I don't know where the sunbeams end
And the starlight begins
It's all a mystery
Oh. To fight is to defend
If it's not now then tell me when
Would be the time
That you would stand up and be a man
For to lose I could accept
But to surrender I just wept
And regretted this moment
oh that
I was the fool
I don't know where the sunbeams end
And the starlight begins
It's all a mystery
And I don't know how a man decides
What's right for his own life
It's all a mystery
'Cause I'm a man, not a boy
And there are things you can't avoid
You have to face them
When you're not prepared to face them
If I could I would
But you're with him, now it'd do no good
I should've fought him
But instead I let him
I let him take it

I just can't get you out of my head
Boy your lovin' is all I think about
I just can't get you out of my head
Boy it's more than I dare to think about

La la la
La la la la la
La la la
La la la la la

I just can't get you out of my head
Boy your lovin' is all I think about
I just can't get you out of my head
Boy it's more than I dare to think about

Every night
Every day
Just to be there in your arms
Won't you stay?
Won't you lay?
Stay forever and ever and ever and ever

La la la
La la la la la

I just can't get you out of my head
Boy your lovin' is all I think about
I just can't get you out of my head
Boy it's more than I dare to think about

There's a dark secret in me
Don't leave me locked in your heart
Set me free
Feel the need in me
Set me free
Stay forever and ever and ever and ever

(La la la, la la la la la)
(I just can't get you out of my head)
(La la la, la la la la la)
(I just can't get you out of my head)
(La la la, la la la la la)
(La la la, la la la la la)
(I just can't get you out of my head)
(La la la, la la la la la)
(La la la, la la la la la)
(I just can't get you out of my head)
(La la la, la la la la la)
(La la la, la la la la la)

Put your hands on the wheel
Let the golden age begin
Let the window down
Feel the moonlight on your skin

The desert wind
Cool your aching head
The weight of the world
Drift away instead

Oh, these days hardly get by
I don't even try

It's a treacherous road
With a desolated view
There's distant lights
But here, they're far and few

The sun don't shine
Even when it's day
Drive all night
Just to feel like you're okay

Oh, these days, I barely get by
I don't even try
I don't even try

I want you to know
He's not coming back
Look into my eyes
He's not coming back

So knives out
Catch the mouse
Throw it down
Shove it in your mouth

If you'd been a dog
You're the only one who drowned at birth
Look into my eyes
It's the only way I wanna tell the truth

So knives out
Catch the mouse
Thrown it down
Shove it in your mouth

Given the hopeless nature of our times
And how it would change things
And given the circumstances of our lives
You'd have done the same thing

You'd have done the same thing
You'd have done the same

So if we're talking about forgiveness
Well don't put me up above you
'Cause in the strange design of conscience
We are controlled by our desires that can never be realized

That can never be realilzed
That can never be real

Let me tell ya a story about a very special gift
I received from a, from a man that I didn't know very well
But he brightened up the night and made it one of the
Great shining moments of our long tour, goes like this

Backstage in Detroit and the room is full of smoke
And apprehension, we'd been playing shows
As the warm-up and the band for Beck Hanson
In walks Jack says, "How'd ya do?", oh yeah
Then he handed me this wonderful statue

And I said, "Thank you Jack White for the fiber-optic Jesus
That you gave me", it shined so bright that I couldn't
Help believin' it would save me, when I finally got it home
My whole neighborhood was aglow and I said, "Thank you Jack White
For the fiber-optic Jesus that you gave me"

Here comes the pick, oh yeah

Jack and Meg are funny, they got a modern backwards-liberal
Family code, brother and sister playing rock 'n roll
And doing it on the road, I bet that van begin to stink
But then I wonder, oh, what Christ would think

And I said, "Thank you Jack White for the fiber-optic Jesus
That you gave me", it shined so bright that I couldn't
Help believin' it would save me, when I finally got it home
My whole neighborhood was aglow and I said, "Thank you Jack White
For the fiber-optic Jesus that you gave me"

Nice one
