David Byrne - Grown Backwards

Why

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
Sometimes 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 skills 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 every time

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
