I know what you're thinkin'
What you're thinkin' is easy to see
I know what you're dreamin'
I have those same dreams
Whoa!

Reach up to the feet of God
Lookin' for a sign
It was right here all the time, time, time, time

I am you and you are me

(Do you believe?)
Don't ya trust me?
Me wise magic
Ow! Baby, hold on
(If you could see)
Through my eyes
Me wise magic
Ohh, hold on

I feel you breathin'
Don't you trust me? (Trust me, trust me)
I feel you agreein'
I know what you need
Woo!

Don't you lie
Just listen through me
My words at best to you
A fortune coo-coo-cookie

You are, you are, are me

(Do you believe?)
Wow! Don't ya trust me?
Me wise magic
Yeah yeah, ohh ho-oh!
(If you could see)
See through my eyes
Me wise magic

A little zen
Headed your way
You'll get it
Halfway down the interstate
Four days from now
It all goes clear
A Buddhist riff
For your inner ear

(Do you believe?)
Wow! Don't ya trust me?
Me wise magic
Yeah yeah, oh yeah, whoa!
(If you could see)
Straight through my eyes
Me wise magic
Whoa oh ohh

(Do you believe?)
Tell me you believe
Do you believe?
Whoa, yeah
(If you could see)
Me wise magic

(Do you believe?)
Me wise magic
(If you could see)
Me wise magic

Van Halen is one of the most iconic American rock bands of all time. Formed in Pasadena, California in 1972, the group’s primary line-up consisted of Eddie Van Halen on guitar, Alex Van Halen on drums, David Lee Roth providing lead vocals, and Michael Anthony providing bass duties and significant harmonies.

Their first six albums, recorded and released between 1977–1984, are considered to be classics and pioneering efforts in the field of hard rock. Eddie Van Halen’s groundbreaking guitar sound and techniques completely changed the landscape of music and radio culture in the 1980s. His and brother Alex’s virtuosity, along with David Lee Roth’s charisma and bassist Michael Anthony’s foundational contributions garnered the band early comparisons to their predecessors—Led Zeppelin—a group who had a profound influence on them. Though, even more so than Jimmy Page, Eddie cites Eric Clapton as having the biggest impact on his playing.

In 1977, after recording a demo with Gene Simmons (who wanted the band to change their name to “Daddy Longlegs”) they were introduced to KISS‘ management, who told Simmons they wouldn’t sign them
