Nothing
Did you ever think you had something to say
Thinkin’ maybe that you’d found a way
Thinkin’ maybe that you’d learn to play
along
You listen to the tune of a song
You’re hummin’ with it before too long
Then you realize you’ve been reading it
all wrong
Well, who’s to know, when they really don’t know
anything
And who’s to blame
when no one disclaims
anything
And if you start believin’
all the things you’re perceivin’
and telling all your friends
it’s the word
What happens when
some hapless young friend
don’t see what you say
is absurd
Well, who’s to know, when they really don’t know
anything
And who’s to blame
when no one disclaims
anything
You’re gonna wake up one morning, that’s right
and without any warning in sight
and smash your head at the bottom
of your shallow point of view
And it weird to think that you broke your own heart
To find you missed the trip from the start
and to clear your head of the theories gone askew
And in the end
we all transcend
to nothing
The moment of truth
when wit tells the sleuth
nothing
nothing
