Dan Bern - I'm Not from Around Here lyrics

Does green mean stop or go, is plastic good to eat Should I put a hat on my head or on my feet Tell me why a birthday comes only once a year I'm not from around here What do chickens dream about when they lay their eggs at night Why do tears and laughter sound so much alike Why are there so many different kinds of beer I'm not from around here Who receives on Christmas Eve, what's reason and what's rhyme Show me, tell me, ring my bell, we haven't got much time How do windshield wipers know when it starts to rain How do the commuters know when it's time to leave the train What is hate, what's boredom, what's jealousy, what's fear I'm not from around here
