David Byrne - Why Lyrics
(David Byrne)I don't have any philosophyWhy do I know what I know?I see the world in a coffee cupAnd when I drink it down there I goWe have our own kind of universeSometime but not always trueHow come? Wait! Maybe I think it isThe view is very nice and it's big through and throughI got skills and I got secrets, I can part my hairI feel an empty space where love could beIn adjoining universesTouching here and thereI stick my head outside and I can see - thatParticles spin 'round a nucleusPlanets encircle the sunFurther out there is the Milky WayThe coolest part of all cracks me up, Ev'rytimeLife isn't really miraculousIt had to happen this wayWe had to meet in this checkout lineExplain it as a simple twist of fateBut we can't - be - sure
