[Verse 1]

What is the point of it all?

When will the day come when there's an important call?

Do we make all lifeforms look small or is the universe like an urban sprawl?

And we're in a minuscule hamlet now, at a push something like a shanty town

If a tree falls in the forest, when nobody's around, does it make a sound?

Has a fish ever drowned? Has a cat ever barked?

Can you win a fight with a hammerhead shark?

Is it beneficial if you're up with the larks

Or does your brain work best when it gets dark?

Who, what, when, where, why?

Are we all lab rats watched by an all-seeing eye?

Is it nearly time for a messiah to arrive or is all that business pie in the sky?

[Hook]

I don't know, I just live here

Too many questions, people think you're a bit weird

I could be cheered or jeered or smeared

It won't make anything anymore clear

As sure as my time is now

I will accept that it's fine to doubt

I'm looking for answers to "why" and "how"

And yet I know there are things that are way beyond finding out

And with all that considered

Some might think I'm the type who's not all that ambitious

I would call that ridiculous

When I've got a whole lot of things that I'm busy with

Yeah I know a whole lot of trivia

On the other hand there's a lot of factors with an impact on the big picture to which I'm oblivious

You can't put a lid on what's limitless

[Verse 2]

How could there be chickens if there weren't any eggs but then who laid the eggs

How do you shed that dread of your inevitable death with that Damocles sword still hanging on a thread?

Why is red "red"?

An' is my red the same as your red?

What goes on beyond foreheads?

Will people come when I tour next?

Or will we succumb to the vortex?

Was the dodo aggressive?

Was Cleopatra really that photogenic?

Did Shakespeare write ever play he put his name to or were some merely Marlowe edits?

Is this it? Is this the zenith?

Will there be a world left for our grand kids to inherit?

Will we develop?

Will we go interstellar or just simply perish?
