Lyrics Pete Townshend

Pete Townshend

The Seeker

I've looked under chairs

I've looked under tables

I've tried to find the key

To fify 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 questions to my mother

I bought tickets just 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 wanna shake my hand

Focusing on nowhere

Investigating miles

I'm a Seeker, I'm a really desperate man!

I asked Bobby Dylan

I asked the Beatles

I 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

I learned how to raise my voice in anger

Now look at my face

Ain't this a smile?

I'm happy when life's good

And when it's bad I cry

I 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!
