It's A Mystery
How the heart beats
How the sun shines
How our eyes meet
It's A Mystery
lt's a wonder
How we keep from
Sinking under
It's A Mystery
All the nonsense
Set before us
Supposed to shock us
But it bores us
All the ennui
All the replays
All the rewrites
All the "can't says"
It's A Mystery
Electron guns fire images
They end in interstellar space
Within the year
And through it all
We dance and starve and
Burn and clear
It's A Mystery
How they con us
How they sneak til
They're upon us
All the anchors
With their helmets
Getting ratings
With their zealots
All the pundits
All the salesmen
Setting snake oil
To the nation
All the specials
Every rerun
All the penguins
Getting well-done
It's A Mystery
It's A Mystery
How the heart beats
How the sun shines
How our eyes meet
It's A Mystery
It's a wonder
How we ever
Find each other
It's A Mystery
