Did you ever feel somethin’ in the air
And you block it out, but you know it’s there
Did you ever find, things about to change
I can see the signs all along my way

And I can feel that
Something’s comin’ up
And I don’t know what it is
Something’s comin’ up
And I don’t know where it’s gonna take me
But there’s something dyin’
Something bein’ born

I think I’m gonna leave, I gotta get away
Maybe try Mill Valley, maybe try L.A.
The people I thought I loved
Well, we don’t think the same
There’s fury in my blood
And I can’t stand it one more day

And I can feel that
Something’s comin’ up
And I don’t know what it is
Something’s comin’ up
And I don’t know where it’s gonna take me
But there’s something dyin’
And something bein’ born
Something’s comin’ up (comin’ up)

Something’s comin’ up (comin’ up)
Something’s comin’ up (comin’ up)
Something’s comin’ up (really don’t know what it is)
Something’s comin’ up (really don’t know what it is)
Something’s comin’ up
And I don’t know what it is
Something’s comin’ up
And I don’t know where it’s gonna take me
Something’s comin’ up
And I don’t know what it is
Something’s comin’ up
And I don’t know where it’s gonna take me
