(David Byrne)
|
I don't have any philosophy
|
Why do I know what I know?
|
I see the world in a coffee cup
|
And when I drink it down there I go
|
|
We have our own kind of universe
|
Sometime but not always true
|
How come? Wait! Maybe I think it is
|
The view is very nice and it's big through and through
|
|
I got skills and I got secrets, I can part my hair
|
I feel an empty space where love could be
|
In adjoining universes
|
Touching here and there
|
I stick my head outside and I can see - that
|
|
Particles spin 'round a nucleus
|
Planets encircle the sun
|
Further out there is the Milky Way
|
The coolest part of all cracks me up, Ev'rytime
|
|
Life isn't really miraculous
|
It had to happen this way
|
We had to meet in this checkout line
|
Explain it as a simple twist of fate
|
But we can't - be - sure
|
