You Know I Know You Know
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Don't you mean I was lost
Don't you think you're alone
You don't have to explain it's not the same
Nobody knows the name of the game
Don't you mean I was lost
Don't you think you're alone
You don't have to explain
You're just the same
Nobody knows the name of the game
Don't you mean I'm lonely
Don't you think you're alone
Stray dogs, lost cause, phonies
Holding onto your own
You don't have to explain
You're just the same
Nobody knows the name of the game
Come on, rave on
Your partner can dance
You know I know you know
You ought to jump at the chance
I don't need to explain
It's not all the same
Nobody knows the name of the game
