Every night I go to bed and take a trip inside my head
And I wonder exactly what my purpose is
And do I live to see a hundred?
Am I rich? Or am I poor? What's the score?
But I don't wanna be surprised

I wanna take a journey to the end of my life
'Cause I just wanna see what it's like
Am I loved? Am I hated? In your face? Or understated?
And how old will I be when I die? Do I turn out alright?

Is my fate up to me? Or is it run by a computer?
Will my kids go to school? Or stay at home?
In the future is there peace or is there war? What's the score?
But I don't wanna be surprised

I wanna take a journey to the end of my life
'Cause I just wanna see what it's like
Am I loved? Am I hated? In your face? Or understated?
And how old will I be when I die? Do I turn out alright?

I just wanna see what goes on
A chance to put it right before it goes wrong
Select the things I say that I regret
And erase them all, erase them all

Save my friends so they don't get hurt
Get the mustard stain off my favorite shirt
Have more vision than a crystal ball
A crystal ball, a crystal ball
But I don't want to be surprised

I wanna take a journey to the end of my life
'Cause I just want to see what it's like
Am I loved? Am I hated? In your face? Or understated?
How old will I be when I die?

I wanna take a journey to the end of my life
'Cause I just want to see what it's like
Am I loved? Am I hated? In your face? Or understated?
And how old will I be when I die?

I wanna take a journey to the end of my life
'Cause I just want to see what it's like
Am I loved? Am I hated? In your face? Or understated?
And how old will I be when I die? Do I turn out alright?
