Why Lyrics - 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
