This isn't television   It's not a greeting card   Survival of the fittest   Survival of the smart   A mystery obscured beyond a doubt   It's up to me   I'll suss it out   I'll suss it out      These idle conversations   Let me off the hook   Simple observations   Jotted down in my book   Takes all my concentration   It takes perfect aim   No time for the Playstation   Well maybe just one game      Run on the wheel   Jog through the maze   I'll break the seal   Maybe one of these days   Boil it down   Flatten it out   Distilling the essence   Of what life's all about   I'm still waiting   For the evidence      Too dangerous to hover   Not good to linger here   Roots of indecision   Dig in and disappear   I'm running round in circles   One shoe nailed to the floor   No stomach left for fighting   At least not anymore      Run on the wheel   Jog through the maze   I'll break the seal   Maybe one of these days   Boil it down   Flatten it out   Distilling the essence   Of what life's all about   I'm still sorting   Through the evidence      I'm through avoiding complications   Alright   I'm sorting through the situation   And it's alright   It's alright, alright, alright   It's alright      There is no perfect cherry blossom   Alright   I guess I've won some and I've lost some   And that's alright      You know it's gonna be alright, alright   You know it's gonna be alright, alright   I think it's gonna be alright, alright   I think it's gonna be alright, alright   I know it's gonna be alright, alright   I know it's gonna be alright, alright, yeah      Run on the wheel   Jog through the maze   I'll break the seal   Maybe one of these days   Boil it down   Flatten it out   Distilling the essence   Of what life's all about   I'm not waiting   For the evidence
