Bob Seger — Its a Mystery

[Verse 1] It's a mystery How the heart beats How the sun shines How our eyes meet It's a mystery It's a wonder How we keep from Sinking under It's a mystery [Verse 2] All the nonsense Set before us Supposed to shock us But it bores us All the ennui All the replays All the rewrites All the "can't says" It's a mystery [Bridge] Electron guns fire images They end in interstellar space Within the year And through it all We dance and starve and Burn and clear [Verse 3] It's a mystery How they con us How they sneak 'til They're upon us All the anchors With their helmets Getting ratings With their zealots [Verse 4] All the pundits All the salesmen Setting snake oil To the nation All the specials Every rerun All the penguins Getting well-done It's a mystery [Verse 5] It's a mystery How the heart beats How the sun shines How our eyes meet It's a mystery It's a wonder How we ever Find each other It's a mystery
