It's a Mystery

It's a mystery

How the heart beats

How the sun shines

How our eyes meetIt's a mystery

It's a wonder

How we keep from

Sinking underIt's a mysteryAll the nonsense

Set before us

Supposed to shock us

But it bores usAll the ennui

All the replays

All the rewrites

All the can't saysIt's a mysteryElectron guns fire images

They end in interstellar space within the year

And through it all

We dance and starve and burn and clearIt's a mystery

How they con us

How they sneak til'

They're upon usAll the anchors

With their helmets

Getting ratings

With their zealotsAll the pundits

All the salesmen

Setting snake oil

To the nationAll the specials

Every re-run

All the penguins

Getting well-doneIt's a mysteryIt's a mystery

How the heart beats

How the sun shines

How our eyes meetIt's a mystery

It's a wonder

How we ever

Find each otherIt's a mystery
