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
