It's the bed smell in a motel
From the nights that came before
Or when I can't tell what my money's paying for
Out of style or apropos
Run down or up to code
Things I'd rather never knowIt's the tall height of a bumpy flight
And the possibilities
Or a stage fright that gives me shaky knees
It's the worry everyone stows and
Sometimes it's hard to let it go
Of things I'd rather never know[Chorus:]
It's my unknown
It's my dismiss that some call ignorance
I call a little bliss
It's how I use this to and fro
With things I'd rather never knowLong trip on a space ship
To other rocks around the sun
I'll stay here and get a better grip on this one
Closed doors and key codes
To back rooms you can't go
Things I'd rather never know[Chorus:]
It's my unknown
It's my dismiss that some call ignorance
I call a little bliss
It's how I use this to and fro
With things I'd rather never knowIt's not that I, it's not that I
It's not that I don't wonder sometimes
But I try, but I try
But I try to keep my head a place I'll bring my mind toOn the door step of my last breath, how's it gonna end?
Was it real or was it all pretend?
With this needle and thread that I sew
A blanket and a pillow
Of things I'd rather never know
Of things I'd rather never know[Chorus:]
It's my unknown
It's my dismiss that some call ignorance
I call a little bliss
It's how I use this to and fro
With things I'd rather never know
