Everything That Happens
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I ride on a perfect freeway
Many people on that road
I heard the sound of someone laughing
I saw my neighbors car explode
Just up ahead
Against the sky
Quicker than you blink your eye
Oh my brother, I still wonder, are you alright?
And among the living, we are giving,
All through the night
From the milk of human kindness
From the breast we all partake
Hungry for a social contract
She welcomes you with dark embrace
(Puts)
Socks and shoes
Upon our feet
Little fishes swim upstream
Oh my brother, I still wonder, are you alright?
In the deepest silence, gold and diamonds,
All through the night
Everything that happens will happen today
& Nothing has changed, but nothing's the same
And ev'ry tomorrow could be yesterday
& And ev'rything that happens will happen today
Ev'rything that happens will happen today
And nothing has changed but nothing's the same
& Ev'ry tomorrow could be yesterday
And ev'rything that happens could happen today
