lyrics

Two birds, sitting on a tree branch
Telling tales of freedom, sharing what they've heard
Two thirds, love and quarter
One part more sinister, than we knew

It's all a game
It's all a simple little rule book
Something you took to be true
Is it a shame
To know the secrets to the universe
And love it all the same?

Scatter your thoughts and your decisions
Let's look for more precision
With the microscope
Tell me, am I fighting for the right thing
When the silence in the night rings
To come home?

When the silence in the night rings
Will you come home?
Will you walk alone
Am I crazy? Are you there or are you gone?

It's all a game
It's all a simple little rule book
Something you took to be true
Is it a shame
To know the secrets to the universe
And love it, to respect it and to trust it all the same?
