Lyrics
You can sit around and wonder
Until your dying day
What the point of all of this
is supposed to be anyway
You can sit around and ponder
Till your head begins to pound
And all you've really done
Is nothing but sit around
Looking for clarity
Within the disparity
Between the imagined and real
Makes you search evermore
You're never quite sure
What to think or to feel
Not many will get it
Among the people that you'll meet
The object is to create
More light than you do heat
* * *
You can stand around at night
Staring at the stars
But I can tell you that won't
Get you very far
If you need an explanation
I can't help you there
As a little consolation
This one thing I'll share
Looking for clarity
Withing the disparity
Between the imagined and real
Makes you search evermore
And you're never quite sure
What to think or to feel
Not many will get it
Among the people that you'll meet
The object is to create
More light than you do heat
Until your dying day
What the point of all of this
is supposed to be anyway
You can sit around and ponder
Till your head begins to pound
And all you've really done
Is nothing but sit around
Looking for clarity
Within the disparity
Between the imagined and real
Makes you search evermore
You're never quite sure
What to think or to feel
Not many will get it
Among the people that you'll meet
The object is to create
More light than you do heat
* * *
You can stand around at night
Staring at the stars
But I can tell you that won't
Get you very far
If you need an explanation
I can't help you there
As a little consolation
This one thing I'll share
Looking for clarity
Withing the disparity
Between the imagined and real
Makes you search evermore
And you're never quite sure
What to think or to feel
Not many will get it
Among the people that you'll meet
The object is to create
More light than you do heat
