These are the official lyrics for the song “A Thousand Places I Don’t Know (Part 2)”. It’s track #5 from the album “Until It’s Over”.

Verse 1

He’s falling on the si __ deline
He’s telling you to stay and yet you run

So full of disappoin __ tment
Tell everyone your heart just broke and know

Chorus 1

Will you stay or will you go?
To a thousand places you don’t know

Verse 2

Take poison, let your health __ drop
Force thoughts away and live like a machine

Drift away to worlds more hand __ some
Sleep longer and longer to reach where you have been

Chorus 2

Will you stay or will you go?
To a thousand places I can’t show
Will you stay or will you go?
To a thousand places I can’t go

Bridge (repeat)

He went down to save his old friend

Verse 3

Orpheus don’t look back
There’s no saving when everyone is lost

Orpheus stop looking back
Twenty years enslaved, oh they’re long gone

Verse 4 (different melody; same music)

We’re not going anywhere, we’re not going anywhere
We’re not going anywhere, we’re not going anywhere
We’re not going, we’re not going,
we’re not going anywhere anymore

We will never see it all, we will never see it all
We will never see it all, we will never see it all
You can only see me fall, see me fall,
ever closer to the floor

Chorus 3

Will you take the pill or no?
To a thousand places you might love
Will you keep yourself afloat?
To a thousand places I don’t

Chorus 4 (type B; same as part 1)

Know why he
Never went

Was it all fear
Or impairment

By the dark he must fight every day
That never goes away
Would you care
From whence it came?

Outro

It’s a tragedy
Can’t change the genre halfway

Through with this
I cannot live without a

Night in Rome
A garden flower-filled and Paris
Lights they shone so bright

I miss it so
The summer sun stripes leaving
Solid gold
The weight of worlds left safe at
Home I know
It’s just some land, should be a better man
I like to think I am
