I'm only hearing the surfaces of things
I'm only interested in words
That don't mean anything
I know that you are just a bunch of patterns
I know that your mind is just a chemical reaction
I know that the world is made of time
To dig down in the dirt is to go back into the slime
I looked in your heart and saw a battery
With a little sign on it that said charge me please
I looked in my heart and was surprised to see nothing
The world is a mysterious way
The sand blows and covers our city every day
And every day I'm digging us out
Everyday I'm looking across a land lit
By a light that won't go out
Just walking through it is enough
On Monday and Tuesday I miss you
On Wednesday I finally see you
Then I start it all again
How could you think that the day would never end
When has the night never followed the day
You can get lost in the fields making money
You can get lost in the fields of pleasure
But during the day you store something that you can't measure
The world is a mysterious way
The sand blows and covers our city every day
And every day I'm digging us out
Everyday I'm looking across a land
Lit by a light that won't go out
Just walking through it is enough
