Perplexed, why continue the song If the words make no sense and the tune you can't hear What can be the root of connection that cannot be felt? Eagerness to prolong and fill in the void by minute increments With something so utterly silly and trivial Something that gives one no power over another Was that a snake mistaking itself for a lion? Is there a wish underneath it all That makes this creature a little human? If you could choose yourself anew, who would you be?
