Lyrics for Song: Why 
Lyrics for Album: Grown Backwards [2004]
  
               
  1092>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
