lyrics

Everything is not what it's s'posed to be
I know that it's so: I heard it on tv
That half of the battle is hypothetical
So let's just forget it! It's only natural.

I can't believe it's specific to you and me
Doesn't this always happen to everybody?

It's not the way that you want me
I'll take this guy on and the rest of the universe
Why can't I see how I want to see
when astronauts hear that there's life out there?

Out there!

Everything's a big mess I can't clean up
It's like a chain that keeps going and will not stop
Grain by grain in the dark in the light in the night the hours drop us
Hints that go nowhere; beyond that I cannot stop

I can't believe it's specific to you and me
Doesn't this always happen to everybody?

It's not the way that you want me
I'll take this guy on and the rest of the universe
Why can't I see how I want to see
when astronauts hear that there's life out there?

Everything is not what it's s'posed to be
I know that it's so: I heard it on tv
That half of the battle is hypothetical
So let's just forget it! It's only natural.
