Where are you going? This work has not yet reached cessation You haven't found it yet Haven't found it yet You just haven't found it yet Found it yet Found it yet Found it yet Look at the glass, turn your head You haven't found it yet Moving down the lane inside It's flashy Camden Town It's that London lyric again You haven't found it yet You haven't it yet Just haven't found it yet Impulses crowd your head Too much to be absorbed You're into the top shackle Mental saw-down of your head Which bemoans a simple fact You haven't found it yet You just haven't found it yet You haven't found it yet Found it yet It seemed so clear in bed It's dark but your legs, they are dead Your pen is encombed in mattress You're not going to get it yet Cos you haven't found it yet You just haven't found it yet You haven't found it yet Haven't found it yet You're dying but still warm Put this writing on your tomb Spit out with dying breath You haven't found it yet You haven't found it yet Haven't found it yet I dictate Haven't found it yet You haven't found it yet Transcribe Haven't found it yet Relations You haven't found it yet Dear cousin Haven't found it yet You haven't found it yet [ ] It's destiny The grist that curtails the mill shall make us strong
