Unexplained

Meat Puppets · Other Songs - 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
