Explain It Away

I can't live in mystery I'm waiting with bated breath Where and when I'll stand or fall -- The hour of my death -- The facts of life are meaningless There is no moral code There may or may not be another side Til then, get outta the road Go ahead Explain it away I can't take the riddles Quit knocking on my door Stop advertising free advice It isn't what I came here for S'posed to write an indispensable memoir An illegible tome of shame People keep on interrupting Tomorrow, it'll be the same The same old scrutinizing The same old sphere of doubt Some miracles are worth baptising But they're the kind we tend to throw out Explain it all away -- Tear the cathedral down We're pining for something long since gone You can sense it just by Sense it just by Sense it just by looking around Go 'head, Explain it away.
