Something warned me you were coming
Something told me not to be alone
Something told me life was going to well
To fear the unknown
Like a thief you snuck in so quickly
You rifled through my strengths
my insecurities
Leaving me with only weakness
You took something precious
Something I couldn’t replace
Without any alarms or time to panic
It was done before I knew what was happening
Something I couldn’t understand
Something I couldn’t see
You used my heart to strike without being seen
A flaw I didn’t know I had
A route better than taking my breath away
You were forced out but far too slowly
Leaving me alone to fix the damage
I just wanted someone to hold my hand
Something to help me feel again
Something to remind me of how it all works
You starved the room of its oxygen
You left me vulnerable
Something I never wanted to feel again
Something more to be exploited
Something to fear
Something….
The thief
The thief in my blood
The thief in my mind
In one stroke

'20/20'
"Do It Again" the track that would ultimately open the Beach Boys final album on Capitol Records which was released on February 10th 1969 had originally been released as a single in August of 1968. The track was the first of many post-Pet Sounds era throwbacks to the early Beach Boys sound which would become continually more cliched and eventually lead the Beach Boys to the level of self-parody they would eventually succumb to in the 1980s while their closest contemporaries The Beatles nearing the end of their run in 1969 would go on to be viewed as the most influential band of all time. However, the song itself is not bad on its surface, and it opens with a futuristic sounding (for 1969) drumbeat captured by then-Beach Boys engineer Stephen Desper using tape delays on the drums performed by Dennis Wilson and John Guerin. The song has been re-recorded numerous times over the years on various Beach Boys-related projects most notably the 2011 re-recording at Capitol studios featuring the five surviving Beach Boys at the time backed instrumentally by various members of both the Brian Wilson Band and Mike Loves touring "Beach Boys" to promote the then upcoming Beach Boys 50th Anniversary reunion tour in 2012. The hammering and power drill sound at the end of the song was an excerpt from a track called "Workshop" that was to be a part of the uncompleted "SMiLE" album.
