Mm-mm

...

...

There's lots of fish out in the pond

In the oceans and the rivers and in all the waterfalls

But if I'm made for land and not the sea at all

Could I crawl and find some kind Neanderthal?

And what if I'm from outer space?

And I have fire in my bones and in my veins?

I let it show and scare my suitors far away

Leave them traumatized with visions of its glow behind my face

They say that God makes no mistakes, but I might disagree

...

When I outstretch my empty hand

I watch them build society, domesticated land

It goes according to the plan

While they're in paradise, I'm exiled in the sand

If everyone has someone, then the math just isn't right

And I'm the only outlier, the lonely archetype

If everything is by design, well, I might disagree

You all know something that I don't

You all learned something that I fear I'll never know

You all grew body parts I fear I'll never grow

You all know something that I don't

You all know something that I don't

You all know something that I don't

What if I'm just cosmic dust?

Put me in a metal box that's bound to rust

Shoot me into space and leave me to combust

Return to earth and just dissolve into its crust

Well, I was born all by myself

It's not unlikely that I'll die that way as well

...
