Unexplained Lyrics - Meat Puppets

They are not stars burning in the sky at night 

No, no, they're candles in astro-flight 

They are not men walking on the streets below 

What are they really nobody knows 

They are not stars, we are not human 

I don't know the reason why 

A firefly is not a candle, not a flower in my eye 

And so, a rose is not a rose 

By that or any other name 

Things remain unexplained 

I am a tree, dancing on the ocean floor 

The air is water on desert shores 

There is a face painted on the salty moon 

The tree singing this silent tune 

They are not stars, we are not human 

I don't know the reason why 

A firefly is not a candle, not a flower in my eye 

And so, a rose is not a rose 

By that or any other name 

Things remain unexplained 

They are not stars, we are not human 

I don't know the reason why 

A firefly is not a candle, not a flower in my eye 

And so, a rose is not a rose 

By that or any other name 

Things remain unexplained 

They are not stars, we are not human 

I don't know the reason why 

A firefly is not a candle, not a flower in my eye 

And so, a rose is not a rose 

By that or any other name 

Things remain unexplained
