It's a Mystery

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
