DON'T KNOW (aka KEEPER OF THE FUTURE)

(Written by Rob Bolton, 1998)

1.) Well, she blew in on the wind of per pre-conceived notions, / With a little education and a lot of emotion. / Sporting red-hot pink, and her Ray-bans: Cooler! / She was lookin' for a man who wouldn't see through her./ Then Mister Right steps into her space, / And he asks her "Are you amazed?" / She don't know. She don't know.

2.) He had just climbed down from the highest tower. / Said "I've seen what I want for my finest hour." / He found the front-nine fine, but the price confusing. / Will he reach for the world the Lord was refusing? / Said "Give me life-long security." / But when you ask "How long with that be? / He don't know. Just don't know.

CHORUS.) Better get to know (better get to know) / The keeper of the future.

(Instrumental interlude, featuring leads by piano and guitar.)

3.) Well she swapped her shades for a baby-stroller. / And he sold his clubs, now he's a rock-and-roller. / We don't need to get our act together. / It's a pretty good act, it just won't last forever. / And when we've seen more than we'd planned to see. / And they write up our family tree, / Will we still be who we meant to be? / We don't know. We don't know.

CHORUS.) (repeat as above.)
