David Byrne - Why lyrics

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 sk**s 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
