The Seeker lyrics
by Pete Townshend
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 find what I'm after
Till the day I die
I asked my idols
The question to my mother [?]
I bought a ticket to anywhere
Hoping to discover
They call me The Seeker
I've been looking 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
Asked Bobby Dylan
I asked the Beatles
Asked Timothy Leary
But he didn't help me either
They call me The Seeker
I've been looking low and high
I won't get to get what I'm after
Till the day I die
[Instrumental interlude]
I learned how to raise my voice in anger
But now look at my face, ain't this a smile?
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 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
I won't get to get what I'm after
Till the day I die
