Well, I fell down from the tree of life
Hit the branches on the way
Yeah, way down to the root
Found what's been bothering me

And I'll tell you
If you can hear above the din
That I just can't get back
To where I've been

And if I ever found
All that I wanted
I've traveled the world
All the way 'round

If you ever gave me
All I ever wanted
I'd travel the world
All the way 'round

'Cause I just can't get back to where I've been
Well, I just can't get back to where I've been
Well, I just can't get back to where I've been
No, I just can't get back to where I've been

'Cause I know a place
And I want to be there
I read it in the poems
On the way down
There it lies
The unchecked country
Far beyond
Spectacle of plains

'Cause I just can't get back to where I've been
Well, I just can't get back to where I've been
Well, I just can't get back to where I've been
Well, I just can't get back to where I've been

Well, I fell down from the tree of life
Hit the branches on the way
Yeah, way down to the root
Found what's been bothering me

And I'll tell you
If you can hear above the din
No, I just can't get back
To where I've been
No, I just can't get back
To where I've been

'Cause I know a place
And I want to be there
I read it in the poems
On the way down
There it lies
The unchecked country
Far beyond
Spectacle of plains

'Cause I fell down from the tree of life
Hit the branches on the way
Yeah, way down to the root
Found what's been bothering me

And I'll tell you
If you can hear above the din
No, I just can't get back
To where I've been

No, I just can't get back to where I've been
No, I just can't get back to where I've been
No, I just can't get back to where I've been
No, I just can't get back to where I've been

If I ever found
All that I wanted
Be a beautiful dream
This is a beautiful dream
These are beautiful dreams
